After the weekend matches, the Lady Gamecocks stand at 14-4 overall and 51 in the SEC. They have started the SEC with their best record ever. Carolina's previous best start was last season, when in the first six matches they were 3-3. The Lady Gamecocks volleyball team moved up to number two in the District Four rankings announced by the NCAA Tuesday. Carolina vaulted to number two after defeating Auburn, who was ranked number two. *Tm excited for the team to be ranked so high in the District. We still have our work cut out for us in the SEC, but I think we are really coming together as a team," Hudson said. "Our match with Georgia on Friday night is another stepping stone in our season. We have been looking forward to this match for a long time." It is only the second time Carolina has been ranked second in the District ever, having finished the regular season last year at number two.
