After a record-setting regular season by the Georgia soccer team, they now look forward to the Wednesday's SEC tournament. Here is a look back at their accomplishments thus far:
• Team set a school record for most regular season wins with 15. This sets a regular season team record, and ties their record for total wins in an entire season, including postseason play.
• They recorded their best-ever season in the SEC with an 8-1-2 record.
• The Bulldogs finished second in the SEC, their best finish ever, which is six spots better than their eighth place finish one year ago.
• Road play was key. The team was 5-1-1 on other teams' home turf, their best mark ever.
• Four players were named to at least one of three National Teams of the Week (SoccerBuzz, Soccer America, and Top Drawer Soccer) - again a team record.
• Sophomore Carrie Patterson moved into third all-time in Georgia history in points. She needs just 19 more to become the all-time leading scorer.
• Thrown right into the fire, the Bulldogs' freshman class came in and made an instant impact. They scored 17 of the team's 35 goals this season and accounted for 14 assists.
• The team had the best home attendance in the SEC, with a total of 17,728 fans in their 11 home games. That's an average of 1,612 fans per game.
