ATHENS, Ga. (AP) --- Dani Carnegie had a career-high 32 points and 11 rebounds,
Trinity Turner added 13 points, 10 rebounds and six assists, and Georgia beat
No. 16 Mississippi 82-59 on Sunday.
Georgia (16-3, 2-3 SEC) earned its first Quad 1 win of the season. The Lady
Bulldogs snapped a 11-game home skid against teams in the AP Top 25 and beat a
ranked opponent by 20-plus points for the first time since 2006.
Carnegie, a Georgia Tech transfer, made 11 of 17 from the field, 5 of 8 from
3-point range, and 5 of 7 from the free-throw line.
Christeen Iwuala led Ole Miss (16-4, 3-2) with 13 points and 10 rebounds and
Sira Thienou scored 12. Cotie McMahon --- who went into the game averaging a
team-high 19.2 points on 49.6% shooting --- finished with nine points on
1-of-13 shooting to go with 11 rebounds and five assists.
Rylie Theuerkauf made two free throws that gave Georgia the lead for good less
than 2 1/2 minutes into the game and sparked a 16-2 run that made it 19-6 with
1:04 left in the first quarter. Debreasha Powe capped a 7-0 spurt with a
3-pointer that trimmed the deficit to nine points with 7:12 remaining in the
first half, but Carnegie answered with a layup and the Lady Bulldogs led by
double figures for the final 26-plus minutes.
Georgia shot 55% (29 of 53) from the field and made 8 of 16 from behind the arc.
Ole Miss made 21 of 71 (30%) from the field, 5 of 19 (26%) from 3-point range.
