Anyone who’s spent time in Las Vegas will tell you that the keys to a successful trip are:  1. Only staying a couple of days. 2. Leaving while you’re ahead. Our Lady Bulldogs worked Vegas like a charm this weekend, blowing in for couple of nights and leaving as Lady Rebel Round-Up tournament champions. Georgia defeated the Eagles of Eastern Washington by 24 points (75-51) this afternoon to claim the tourney title. Ashley once again led all scorers, this time with 22 points. Christy was the only other Lady Dawg to put up double figures, scoring 11. Georgia out-rebounded the Eagles by 10, contributing mightily to the Lady Bulldogs’ 40-22 advantage in points scored down low. Coach Landers: “Defensively, we did what we needed to do. We made it difficult for them to catch the ball and get into their offenses and that paid off.”

Ashley, on the strength of her stellar two-game performance, was voted the tourney MVP.

Georgia will fly home late tonight and host East Tennessee State at Stegeman Coliseum on Monday night. That game tips off at 7:00 PM. We’ll have a preview of the East Tennessee State game posted here sometime tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon.
