THE FLATS – With the 2025 volleyball season weeks away, junior right side Larissa Mendes (Fortaleza, Brazil) was named to the preseason all-conference team, the Atlantic Coast Conference offices announced today. The Yellow Jackets were picked to finish sixth in the Atlantic Coast Conference following a vote of the league’s head coaches.
Mendes returns to The Flats following an exceptional sophomore season. She began the 2024 season as a consistent starter for the Yellow Jackets and notched a career high 23 kills during the second match of the season against New Mexico State and tied her previous career high of 21 kills a week later against BYU. Through the first two months of the season, she proved to be a threat on offense to ACC opponents until an injury in October. Mendes battled back and returned to play less than a month later and despite her time away, finished third on the team for kills after averaging 2.42 kills per set.

2025 Season Outlook
The Yellow Jackets are coming off their fifth-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance in 2024, which tied the program record for consecutive NCAA Tournament berths. Tech is one of only 12 programs across Division I to have won a match in each of the last five tournaments after defeating Tennessee 3-2 last season.
Tech will play every ACC team once with three home-and-away series against Pitt, Clemson and Stanford. In total, Tech will play just under half of its matches against teams from the 2024 NCAA Tournament (16 of 29), including six of its nine non-conference opponents. The Jackets will take on half of last season’s Elite 8 programs with home-and-away series against Pitt (2024 Elite 8) and Stanford (Elite 8) as well as home matches against Louisville (2024 Semifinals) and Wisconsin (2024 Elite 8).
Full Steam Ahead
Full Steam Ahead is a $500 million fundraising initiative to achieve Georgia Tech athletics’ goal of competing for championships at the highest level in the next era of intercollegiate athletics. The initiative will fund transformative projects for Tech athletics, including renovations of Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field (the historic home of Georgia Tech football), the Zelnak Basketball Center (the practice and training facility for Tech basketball) and O’Keefe Gymnasium (the venerable home of Yellow Jackets volleyball), as well as additional projects and initiatives to further advance Georgia Tech athletics through program wide-operational support. All members of the Georgia Tech community are invited to visit atfund.org/FullSteamAhead for full details and renderings of the renovation projects, as well as to learn about opportunities to contribute online.
