Georgia Bulldogs women's volleyball

Georgia's first volleyball season came in 1978 under head coach Sid Feldman. They finished their first season with a record of 17–19.[3]

Under Feldman, the Bulldogs would show improvement each year and in 1982 started the season 25-0 and finished the season 41–12.[3] Three seasons later in 1985 Feldman lead the team to an SEC regular season championship and SEC tournament championship, earning a bid to the 1985 NCAA Division I women's volleyball tournament, the first NCAA volleyball championship appearance in program history.[4][5][6] Georgia beat Florida State in the first round but would lose to UCLA in the second round.[3]

One season later in 1986, Georgia would maintain this success by winning the SEC regular season championship and make the NCAA volleyball championship for the second year in a row.[6] They beat Texas A&M in the first round but lost to Texas in the second.[3]

Sid Feldman was replaced as head coach by Jim Lams in 1989.[3]

Jim Lams first season in 1989 showed immediate success, going 30-4 and making the National Invitational Volleyball Championship.[7] One season later in 1990 they would make the NIVC for the second year in a row, this time making the semifinals.[7]

In 1991, Georgia went 28-8 and made the 1991 NCAA women's volleyball tournament, where they lost to Texas Tech in the first round.[3]

Under coach Lams, Georgia made five straight NCAA Tournament appearances from 1991 to 1995, including making the third round in 1993 and making the second round in 1994 and 1995.[8][3]

After lack of success after the 1995 season, Jim Lams was replaced as head coach by Mary Buczek in 2000.

Under Buczek the Bulldogs would see seasons with average records, until 2004 when the team went 18-12 and made the 2004 NCAA Division I women's volleyball tournament, they would lose to Georgia Tech in the first round. Buczek would retire after the 2004 season.[9]

After the 2004 season, Georgia would have middling success, not making any NCAA tournaments until 2013 under coach Lizzy Stemke.[10]

In 2017 Georgia hired Tom Black, former Loyola Marymount coach, as their next head coach.[11][12] In Tom Black's first season, the team went 22-12 and made the third round of the NIVC.[13]

Coach Black has led the Bulldogs to two NCAA tournaments since 2017, one in 2019 and one in 2022.[14][15][16] The 2019 team lost in the first round to Cal Poly.[17] The 2022 team made the second round, beating Towson then losing to Texas.[15][18]

As of 2023 Georgia has an all-time record of 904–604.[3]
