The University of Georgia women's soccer team made history on Thursday night by breaking the NCAA attendance record with a crowd of 25,433 at Sanford Stadium. The match was part of the "Soccer in Sanford" event, which celebrated the 30th anniversary of the United States women's gold-medal victory over China in the 1996 Olympics.

Georgia's Honoka Hamano scored twice in the 6-0 victory over James Madison, surpassing the previous women's attendance record of 14,410 set in 1999. This achievement also broke the overall men's attendance record of 22,512 set in 1980.
