UGA Basketball
With that electricity in the air, fans in the stands, and energy running through the crowd, we could only be talking about UGA basketball! UGA Men's basketball kicks off November 6 in Los Vegas, and their first home game is in Stegman Coliseum on November 10, with Women's basketball close behind, starting at Stegman on November 7.
Yes, UGA has Ice Hockey! Hosted in Athens' very own Classic Center, these energy-filled games are sure to have you jumping up and down in the stands. From the opening face-off until the final goal, there is never a dull moment with the Ice Dawgs! The icy atmosphere is perfect for those warm autumn days when you are looking to cool down, or on the chilly fall evenings to compliment the spirit of the season. The Ice Dawgs face-off against Clemson on September 9th to start what should be another exciting season. Whether you are hardcore hockey buff or just interested in the action, head on over to the ticket booth and prepare to have great fun-the Ice Dawgs will never disappoint!
The UGA Women's Volleyball team kicked off their season with a win at Clemson this month! Taking place in Ramsey Student Center, women's volleyball has a casual atmosphere with dedicated fans to perfectly satisfy your sporting fix.
