WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – A trip to the Tar Heel State opens Atlantic Coast Conference play for Georgia Tech women’s basketball, in the form of a Sunday tilt with the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.

The Jackets enter conference action following a treacherous non-conference stretch that has had them on the road in five of the last six games, including a defeat at West Virginia Thursday night. D’Asia Thomas-Harris (14) led the team in scoring, following by 13 from Savannah Samuel.

Sunday marks the first ACC game for the Jackets under first-year head coach Karen Blair.

The Demon Deacons are on the court for the first time in a week after falling in a second-straight home game, this time to Georgetown, 58-56. The back-to-back defeats come after Wake Forest started 9-0 this season.

Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. on ACC Network Extra.
