RALEIGH, N.C. – The Georgia Tech women’s basketball team will conclude its two-game road trip Sunday in Raleigh, facing the N.C. State Wolfpack.

The Jackets and `Pack will meet at Reynolds Coliseum at 2 p.m.
The Jackets can be heard on the Georgia Tech ISP Radio Network (91.1 WREK-FM in Atlanta) and online at www.wrek.org, with Richard Musterer calling the play-by-play and director of women’s basketball operations LaChina Robinson providing the color analysis.

Tech enters the contest with a 13-10 record after dropping a two-point contest to the Eagles Thursday evening. It was the Yellow Jackets’ first loss in the history of the series with the Eagles, and Tech fell to 2-8 in league play this season.
N.C. State enters the game with a 14-9 record after snapping a three-game losing streak with a victory over Wake Forest in Raleigh Thursday night. The Wolfpack stand at 4-6 in conference play this season.
Sunday’s game will be the 54th meeting between the two schools, as the Wolfpack leads the series, 38-15, with the last meeting coming on February 10, 2005 in Atlanta. This will be the only meeting of the 2005-06 regular season between the two schools.
In that game, five players on NC State’s roster scored in double figures, including Marquetta Dickens, who led the `Pack with 17 points in an 83-59 victory over Georgia Tech at Alexander Memorial Coliseum.
