Weekend in review
Georgia claimed three SEC titles this weekend. Men’s and women’s tennis followed up their regular season titles with tournament titles. The women beat Florida for the title and ended Florida’s run of five straight SEC titles. Women’s golf also brought home team and individual championships. Unfortunately, the men’s top-ranked golf team finished just sixth at the SEC championship.
With a little more than a month remaining in the regular season, things continue to look grim for the Diamond Dawgs. They dropped another SEC series, losing the final two to Arkansas in Athens after winning on Friday. Stephen Dodson continues to be the lone bright spot; he’s pitched consecutive complete games for Friday night wins. The bad news is that the home stretch features series against several of the SEC’s better teams such as Vanderbilt and South Carolina. At this point, I’m just hoping we can salvage something from the two remaining games with Tech, including tomorrow night’s Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta benefit game at Turner Field.
Coming up this week:
- Baseball: vs. Georgia Tech, Tuesday 7:00 (@ Turner Field)
- Baseball: @ Western Carolina, Wednesday
- Baseball: @ Kentucky, Friday-Sunday
- Gymnastics: NCAA championships, Salt Lake City, Utah. The GymDogs will try for their third consecutive national title against hometown favorite Utah and a Florida squad that has been unbeatable so far this year. Thursday-Saturday.
- Football: NFL Draft, beginning Saturday
