The Jackets went 3-2 on last week’s road trip to California as part of the Matador Classic hosted by CSUN. Tech took wins against Pacific, Cal Poly and Santa Clara. Its 11-0 run-rule victory over Santa Clara was Tech’s fifth run-rule win of the season, surpassing the 2017 total. The win also marked the Jackets’ 19th win of the season, tying the total from last season. The Jackets dropped a midweek matchup to Georgia State on Wednesday, 3-2.
