Women’s tennis gets revenge with thrashing of Arkansas

The Georgia women’s tennis team had one thing on their mind heading into its match Sunday against Arkansas.

Revenge.

After dropping two of their three meetings against Arkansas last year, the Bulldogs (15-2, 5-1 SEC) responded with a 6-1 thrashing over Arkansas (9-5, 4-2 SEC) on a windy Sunday afternoon in Athens.

Loss of sleep a nonissue as men’s tennis wins big

It’s a 627-mile trip to Fayetteville, Ark.

Add that to the fact the flight was delayed five hours, an hour of sleep was lost because of the central time zone change and Sunday’s match was a relatively early start. All those factors would help contribute to a loss, right?

Wrong.

Rainy weekend weather in Athens forced the 37th annual Liz Murphey Collegiate Classic to cancel the first two rounds of the three-day invitational at the UGA golf course, setting up an unusual 18-hole tournament format on Sunday.

Diamond Dogs hold on, complete three-game sweep of Tennessee

After two offensive explosions on Friday and Saturday, the top-ranked Georgia baseball team had to rely on – and hope for – strong pitching in the series finale against Tennessee.

And the Diamond Dogs (22-3, 7-2 SEC) got it from sophomore Justin Grimm and the bullpen in their 4-3 win Sunday to sweep the Volunteers (11-15, 1-8 SEC) at Lindsey Nelson Stadium in Knoxville, Tenn.

Meaning of life comes from the Creator

I don’t believe in religion, just like Andrew Haynes doesn’t, as he detailed in his Thursday column, “Atheists, agnostics retain good morals.” I do, however, believe in a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. I’ll explain the contrast. Religion is a set of beliefs, an institution.
