THE FLATS – A fast start and flurry of career-best performances saw Georgia Tech women’s basketball close out 2025 and its non-conference schedule with a 79-63 victory over Wofford inside McCamish Pavilion Sunday.
The Yellow Jackets (5-9, 0-2 ACC) posted a season-high 28 first-quarter points on 81.3% shooting, holding Wofford (5-8, 0-0 SoCon) to just 40 points through three quarters on stingy paint defense. Through the first three quarters of Sunday’s game, Tech allowed just two points inside the paint, including forcing zeroes in the first and third frames.
Brianna Turnage led Tech with a career-high 17 rebounds, the most by a Jacket since Jan. 19, 2023. She also added a career-high seven assists. Erica Moon made her mark on home court Sunday, nearing a triple-double with career-highs in points (11), rebounds (8) and assists (9). Talayah Walker led Tech in scoring once again, posting a career-best 22 points – her third 20-point game in the last five. The Odenton, Md. Native also had seven rebounds.
Joining Moon and Walker in double figures scoring were La’Nya Foster (15), who started her third game this season. Jada Crawshaw entered off the bench and had 14 points with six rebounds in just 16 minutes of action.
Georgia Tech had a season-high 29 assists on 32 made shots and shot 50.8% from the floor. The victory gives Georgia Tech its 14th win in its last 16 non-conference home games and improves the Ramblin’ Wreck to 32-6 at home against non-conference foes since 2020-21.
