Georgia Tech women’s basketball plays its final non-conference game on Saturday in the back half of a double-header with men’s basketball. The Yellow Jackets host Nebraska in a top-25 matchup, meeting their third ranked opponent of the season. Tech is coming off a convincing 88-57 victory over Rice on Wednesday. Guided by four Yellow Jackets in double-figures, Tech improved to 12-0 on the season. Rusne Augustinaite dropped a season-high 23 points in the win, hitting a career-high seven three-pointers. Kara Dunn followed with 17 points as Tech shot 49.3 percent from the field.
Nebraska comes into the contest riding a five-game win streak and seeking its first road win of the year. The Cornhuskers have played only one true road contest, falling at Creighton for their lone loss to date. Alexis Markowski paces the team, averaging 14.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. She is one of three averaging double-figure scoring through 11 games.
Georgia Tech looks to avenge a loss last season to Nebraska on Saturday in Lincoln. Tech led at halftime, but Nebraska shot 75.9 percent in the second half to overcome its deficit and take an 80-72 win at home. Kara Dunn and Tonie Morgan both logged 20-point outings in the tilt. Saturday will be the third meeting in program history on the hardwood with Tech leading the series, 2-1.

GEORGIA TECH WOMEN’S BASKETBALL CELEBRATES 50 YEARS
Georgia Tech is celebrating the 50th anniversary of women’s basketball on The Flats this season. Under the direction of coach Jim Culpepper, Georgia Tech competed its first year in the Georgia Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (GAIAW) in 1974-75 before joining the ACC in 1979-80. Tech has seen many highlights over 50 years, including playing in the NCAA Tournament 11 times, with two Sweet 16 appearances (2012, 2021), and producing nine WNBA draft picks, featuring first round draft picks Alex Montgomery and Sasha Goodlett. In its first postseason berth in school history, Georgia Tech captured the 1992 National Women’s Invitational Tournament. Currently in its sixth season under head coach Nell Fortner, the Yellow Jackets have reach postseason play three times in the last five years.
