Alabama WBB Wins Top-25 Road Matchup at Georgia: Roll Call

No. 24 Alabama women's basketball picked up its second ranked win of the season on Thursday night, but it was the first top-25 road win with a dominant 68-53 victory at No. 23 Georgia.

The Crimson Tide trailed 20-12 at the end of the first quarter but outscored the Bulldogs by 23 points from that point on. In her second game back from injury, junior forward Essence Cody led all scorers with 16 points while senior guard Karly Weathers added 11 points, eight rebounds and five assists for Alabama.

"Just loved our grittiness, loved our toughness," Alabama head coach Kristy Curry said in a press release. "It was a great road win against a good team. I thought our kids did a great job rebounding the ball, I mean to outrebound them and defend the way we did was terrific. It's just an effort category and when you can pack your defense and rebound like that on the road you give yourself a chance and I'm just proud. I thought Ta’Mia did an amazing job on (Dani) Carnegie. I thought we really steadied and kept the ball out of the paint and contested every shot in the third and the fourth quarters. I am proud of our defense and the way we rebounded the ball and were able to get some easy baskets in transition because we got some stops.”

Alabama (19-3, 5-3 SEC) has now won five straight games over Georgia (18-4, 5-4 SEC.) Next up for the Crimson Tide is another top-25 road matchup at No. 6 LSU on Sunday at 11 a.m. CT.
