DURHAM, N.C. – A week away from game action concludes Sunday as Georgia Tech women’s basketball treks to Cameron Indoor Stadium Sunday for an ACC clash against the Duke Blue Devils.
Tech returns to the road for the first time in two weeks coming off a thrilling 58-55 win over Clemson last week. The Jackets trailed by five at the half but came storming out of the locker room to hold the Tigers to a season-low six third-quarter points. Brianna Turnage led the Jackets with a career-high 18 rebounds, adding to her season average of 9.1. Ariadna Termis added 10 boards of her own while Talayah Walker continued her impressive season with a sixth-straight 20-point game.
Walker’s 20-point streak is the second-longest by a Yellow Jacket in the last 23 seasons and has her tied for the conference lead with five 20-point games in ACC action. She has been hard to distract at the charity stripe during that six-game stretch, shooting a stellar 50-for-54 (92.6%).
Tech enters the matchup having faced some tough late-game situations. The Jackets lead the ACC with five games decided by 10 or less and are tied for the conference-lead with three victories under that criteria.
Duke is back on home court for the fourth time this month and is riding a nine-game winning streak. The Blue Devils have only been dealt one loss in Durham this season (Dec. 4 vs. LSU) – their last loss before starting the nine-game run of victories.
Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. on the ACC Network
