The University of Georgia (UGA) Lady Bulldogs Athletics Department recently signed Audrey Warren to the basketball program.

On May 16, Katie Abrahamson-Henderson, UGA women's basketball coach, announced that Warren has joined the basketball program after leading the University of Texas to back-to-back Elite Eight appearances, a news release from GeorgiaDogs.com said. 

"We are excited to welcome Audrey to the University of Georgia," Coach 'ABE' said in the release. "Audrey has a tremendous skill set on offense as a three-tier scorer. Her basketball IQ is unmatched. She is a relentless defender who takes pride in getting stops, and inspires her teammates to have that same mentality. Audrey is a winner and knows what it takes to compete at a high level after reaching back-to-back Elite Eights in her college career. She will make an immediate impact on our program here at Georgia." 

Over her last two years at Texas, the combo guard/forward started 35 games and appeared in 59 overall, helping the Lady Longhorns to capture the 2022 Big 12 Championship.

Warren averaged 10.3 points per game and 5.0 rebounds per contest in 2020-21 and averaged 8.2 ppg during the 2021-22 campaign.

Over the last two seasons, Warren scored in double figures 24 times, including a career-high 21-point effort against Oklahoma and an 11-point outing against Stanford in the Elite Eight.
