Vanderbilt suffered its second defeat in a row for the first time this season when they dropped a 2-1 decision at the University of Georgia Friday night. The Commodores dropped to 6-3-3 (1-3-0) on the season. The conference record looks bleak, but they have played the #13 and #19 teams in the country along with the team that received enough votes to be 5th on the outside looking in to the Top 25. They have had bright spots in all 3 losses, too, so they can compete with strong opponents.
Against Georgia, who is the one just outside the Top 25, Vanderbilt hurt themselves early when a poor clearing attempt put the ball on Georgia’s foot undefended at the top of the 18-yard box.
