Georgia women’s basketball advances in NCAA tourney, bounces Florida State
DawgNation Staff
The Georgia women’s basketball team chopped up Florida State on Friday afternoon, pulling away for a 66-54 NCAA tournament victory.
The Lady Bulldogs (22-11) used a 17-2 run late in the third quarter and into fourth quarter action to take control of the game in Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa in reaching the Round of 32.
The Seminoles started strong, leading 18-13 through the first quarter before Georgia dug in.
The Bulldogs, who have appeared in 36 of the 41 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournaments, are now 9-0 all time against Florida State.
If chalk holds and Georgia’s next game is against Iowa, it will bring first-year Lady Bulldogs’ coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson full circle, as she grew up in Iowa and after two years at Georgia transferred back to play for the Hawkeyes to complete her collegiate career.
