FRANKLIN SPRINGS, Ga. – The Georgia College & State University Women's Basketball team (4-0) is one of two 4-0 squads in Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Women's Basketball after beating Emmanuel College (0-2) 63-52 on the road Saturday.

GCSU and the University of North Georgia are the only two teams to own 4-0 records in the PBC, and this marks the first 4-0 start for the Bobcats since 2016-17.

Held under 70 points for the first time this season, the Bobcats were led by 18 from sophomore guard Alexa Geary (Calhoun). She hit a pair of threes and grabbed five rebounds. Classmate Ashyia Willis (Gainesville) joined her in double-digit scoring with 11 points, grabbing a team-high eight boards.

The Bobcats shot 40 percent (20-49) from the floor and hit seven threes as a team, while holding Emmanuel to a 32-percent (17-53) shooting clip.

Georgia College takes a 2-1 lead in the all-time series with the victory. The last time a Bobcat Women's Basketball team had a better than 4-0 start was the 2013-14 season, when GCSU won its first 10 games.
