Georgia Tech women’s basketball returns to the hardwood to close this four-game season-opening homestand on Sunday, welcoming in-state rival Georgia for the 47th edition of ‘Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate.’ Sunday marks the third-straight game Georgia Tech will meet an in-state school, having already defeated Georgia State and West Georgia. The Yellow Jackets are coming off a commanding win over West Georgia, defeating the Wolves, 88-53. Freshman Dani Carnegie led the Jackets offensively for the third consecutive game. She is the only freshman in the ACC to lead their school in scoring in every game this season.
Georgia comes into Sunday’s contest off a loss to Georgia State, 66-60, to close a four-game homestand. The Bulldogs opened the season 3-0 at home and have two players averaging a double-double on the young season – Mia Wolfolk (18.0 points, 13.0 rebounds) and Amiya Evans (11.3 points, 10.3 rebounds). Last season, Georgia finished 12-18 overall and 3-13 in the SEC.
A long-standing tradition, Georgia Tech and Georgia will meet for the 47th time in series history on Sunday. Georgia leads the series, 37-9, including an 11-5 edge when competing in Atlanta.

GEORGIA TECH WOMEN’S BASKETBALL CELEBRATES 50 YEARS
Georgia Tech is celebrating the 50th anniversary of women’s basketball on The Flats this season. Under the direction of coach Jim Culpepper, Georgia Tech competed its first year in the Georgia Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (GAIAW) in 1974-75 before joining the ACC in 1979-80. Tech has seen many highlights over 50 years, including playing in the NCAA Tournament 11 times, with two Sweet 16 appearances (2012, 2021), and producing nine WNBA draft picks, featuring first round draft picks Alex Montgomery and Sasha Goodlett. In its first postseason berth in school history, Georgia Tech captured the 1992 National Women’s Invitational Tournament. Currently in its sixth season under head coach Nell Fortner, the Yellow Jackets have reach postseason play three times in the last five years.
