Coming off of their fourth NCAA Championships performance, the schedule for this season will provide a variety of competition both in the SEC, and throughout the nation.

🔼 Overseas Bonding. The Bulldogs are up and away as they head to Portugal to not only get some competition in this summer, but to give the group experience as a unit before heading into the regular season later this fall.

🗣️ “ For me, the benefits are…camaraderie, the cultural experiences, the bonding that should go on over there and the practices that have led up to the actual tour.” - Head Coach Chris Jans

Seeing a different part of the world will not only help the Bulldogs face different competition, but help bring the team together to bond and build a winning culture.

🔼 More Next Level Success. Our former Bulldogs are back with another day of showing out at a professional level:

🏀 Victoria Vivians reached the 1K club after scoring her 1,000th point with the Indiana Fever in the WNBA.

🏈 Emmanuel Forbes is already showing the world why the Washington Commanders took him with the 16th overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft.

🔼 Her Second Act. After claiming her first medal with Athletes Unlimited in the June exhibition season, Mia Davidson-Smith will be back at it again in her second Championship season later today!

In June, Davidson-Smith racked up 1,122 points which earned her a third place finish in the standings for the AUX season. Her 382 stat points were second-highest stat point total in the AUX history. As for this season, she was the 11th overall pick in Monday night’s draft and will play with Team McCleney to open things up for season No. 2.

Have a great weekend, y'all.
