Joni Taylor — who led one of the largest single-season turnarounds in Georgia Lady Bulldog basketball history— has been named the 2021 Southeastern Conference Women’s Basketball Coach of the Year, headlining an impressive list of All-SEC accolades for the Lady Bulldogs.
The announcement was part of the SEC’s annual postseason awards release, which compiles votes cast by the league’s 14 head coaches.
In addition to Taylor’s Coach of the Year honor, senior guard Que Morrison was tabbed the SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year and placed on the league’s All-Defensive Team. Senior center Jenna Staiti was named a second-team All-SEC selection, while Lady Bulldog rookie Sarah Ashlee Barker earned a spot on the SEC All-Freshman Team.
