Georgia took the lead nine minutes into the game after freshman Abby Boyan tapped the ball to Glisson for the finish from outside the box.
Glisson notched the second goal after a slide tackle in the box awarded the Bulldogs with a penalty kick opportunity, allowing the Savannah native to boot the ball to the back of the net for the 2-0 cushion.
