THE FLATS – After announcing transfer Bianca Jackson to the family, Georgia Tech women’s basketball has welcomed another transfer to its 2022-23 roster in guard Cameron Swartz, head coach Nell Fortner announced on Wednesday.
“We welcome Cameron back home to Atlanta and the Georgia Tech women’s basketball family,” commented Fortner. “Her game has consistently grown throughout her collegiate career and she has proven herself to be one of the best scorers in the ACC. We are looking forward to having her experience on the floor and helping us continue to win at the highest level.”
A 5-11 guard from Marietta, Ga., Swartz played three seasons at Boston College before deciding to return home.
