LEXINGTON, Ky. – Georgia Tech volleyball has been ranked No. 5 in the AVCA Division I Coaches Top 25 Women’s Poll for the second consecutive week, the organization announced on Monday. The back-to-back five spots tie the second highest ranking received by the Yellow Jackets in program history, joining the 2003 squad, who held the mark through four consecutive weeks.
Tech remains one of two ACC teams inside the top five and one of three in the top 10. The Jackets are slated to face four opponents ranked in the current top 10 this season in No. 4 Louisville, No. 7 Pitt, No. 8 Ohio State and No. 10 BYU. Each of the aforementioned teams reached the NCAA Tournament in 2021 as Louisville and Pitt each advanced to the Final Four while Ohio State and BYU both played into the Sweet 16. The Jackets eliminated the Buckeyes during their Elite Eight run.
The Jackets’ selection marks the fourth consecutive appearance in the AVCA’s top 10 dating back to the final rankings of the 2021 season. Georgia Tech has landed in the top 10 each week this season after being tabbed No. 8 at the end of the 2021 season, the highest finish at a season’s end in program history alongside 2003’s Elite Eight team.
Reappearing in the top 25 for the first time since 2005 at No. 12 on Sept. 30, 2020, Tech has since been listed in 41 straight top 25 polls to date. The Jackets’ back-to-back No. 5 rankings mark the highest for the White and Gold during that stretch.
