With Love for Uncle John (Gary Talbert) Always!

Woof™..........

There were no goals scored in No. 14 Georgia's season-opening Women's Soccer match against No. 7 Pittsburgh on Thursday night at the Turner Soccer Complex, but there was still plenty of action. And Bulldogs goalkeeper Jordan Brown saw a lot of it. In the 0-0 draw, the Panthers attempted 18 shots, and Brown made five saves. But she was a lot busier than that. Pitt had the ball deep in Georgia territory often, particularly in the second half, and Brown and the Bulldog defenders had to fight off wave after wave of attacks. Brown made her final save with 74 seconds remaining to secure her 12th career shutout.

Georgia finished with 10 shots, eight fewer than Pitt, but the Bulldogs forced Pitt goalkeeper Ellie Breech to make saves on four of them. And maybe the Bulldogs' best scoring chance of the game, by Washington State transfer Margie Detrizio, on an attack with about 20 minutes left in the first half, hit the crossbar and bounced away. The Bulldogs will get another stiff early-season test next Thursday when they play at No. 8 North Carolina.
