ATTENTION: GAME TWO UPDATES CLICK HERE
The Georgia Bulldogs begin their play in the NCAA’s Super Regional this afternoon as they take on the NC State Wolfpack. The series will be a best-of-three, with game two being played this Sunday at noon and game three (if necessary) being played on Monday.
After a tremendous 3-0 showing in the Athens Regional, the Diamond Dawgs earned a spot in this year’s Super Regional for the first time in 16 seasons. The team’s successes can be attributed to head coach Wes Johnson, who has tremendously exceeded expectations in his first year with the program.
A win today would put the Dawgs in an excellent position to advance once again and continue their historic season. Game Two of the Athens Super Regional is scheduled for Sunday at Noon. If needed, a Game Three is scheduled for Monday, time to be determined.
