KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee women's basketball turned in a wire-to-wire effort in Sunday's victory against Georgia at Thompson-Boling Arena.

Senior forward Rickea Jackson led Tennessee’s scoring effort once again with 23 points as well as a team-high seven rebounds. The senior shot a very efficient 8-of-10 from the floor.
Junior guard/forward Tess Darby chipped in with 16 points behind four three-pointers, while graduate student guard Jordan Walker filled the stat sheet with eight points, eight assists and three steals along with four boards.
