In the title game, Georgia got off to a quick start and never looked back, as they routed their hosts, 83-58. Tiaria Griffin had a career-high 25 points for the Bulldogs. Shacobia Barbee added 18 and Caliya Robinson, 13. Sarafina Maulupe had 14 points for the Matadors.
The games showcased some of the changes that abound in the 2015-2016 season so far. Georgia coach Joni Taylor, who took over the program from first-ever coach Andy Landers this year, doesn't seem to have missed a beat. The senior-laden Bulldogs are 5-1. CSUN, which lost their core group of senior starters to graduation last season, is rebuilding.
BYU's easy dispensation of Penn State was an eyebrow-raiser, considering that the Lions were conference title contenders as recently as two years ago.
