Rankings & Standing
- As of the latest AVCA poll (Sept. 8, 2025), Georgia is not in the Top 25 in the NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball rankings.
- In the SEC volleyball standings, Georgia’s position shows them in mid-tier vs. the conference leaders. This suggests there’s work to do to crack into the top echelon.

Predictions For This Weekend
Given the roster and stat trends, here are some predictions and what to expect:
- Bianna Muoneke will continue being a key offensive weapon. She’s shown high kills per set and seems likely to shoulder much of the attack load, especially in tight sets.
- MK Patten offers front-row strength; expect her to be involved in both attacks and blocks. If she’s efficient, Georgia may lean on her to counter bigger hitters on opponent teams.
- Kaiya Tyson’s setter role will be critical. Her ability to distribute, manage the tempo, and incorporate outside hitters (like Borgman or others stepping up) will influence how effective Georgia’s offense is. If she’s sharp on assists and low on errors, Georgia’s attackers will have more clean swings.
- Depth matters: With multiple matches over the weekend, Georgia’s ability to rotate and keep players fresh, especially middle blockers and defensive specialists, will be tested.
- Serve-receive and defensive consistency could tilt close sets. Opponents will try to disrupt Georgia’s offense via pressure serves and strong defense; if Georgia handles that well (limiting error runs, keeping passing accurate), they’ll have a good chance.
