Storylines

  • Georgia Tech softball most recently traveled to Gainesville, Fla. for its first road contests of the season.
  • Alyssa Willer was nothing short of exceptional last week as she led the team offensively in every category with five runs, 12 hits, two doubles, three home runs, 11 RBI, 23 total bases, a .571 batting average and a .640 slugging percentage.
  • Willer extended all of her game streaks through the Florida Classic including her now 12-game reached base streak and her seven-game hit streak. She stands as the only Yellow Jacket to have reached base in every game played so far this season.
  • Addison Leschber saw home runs in back-to-back games after slamming one in Tech’s 10-1 win over Marshall as well as one in Tech’s 5-1 loss to No. 5 Florida.
  • Leschber stands as one of six Yellow Jackets to have hit more than one home run so far this season.
  • Gracyn Tucker currently leads Tech in home runs with four while Leschber and Willer sit just behind her with three each.
  • Tech softball has recorded at least one home run in nine out of 12 games played so far this season. The Yellow Jackets have recorded multiple home runs in six games this year as well.
  • With a combined 17 home runs so far this season, Tech softball is currently ranked 13th nationally. The Jackets are also ranked 27th nationally for home runs per game (1.5).
  • In Sunday’s rematch against No. 5 Florida, Tech turned its fifth double play of the season, good enough for a 25th- place national ranking. Tech’s third baseman Tucker leads the team in double plays turned with four while first baseman Leschber is just behind her with three.
  • The Yellow Jackets have now competed in four-ranked match ups in just the first two weeks of the 2026 season after most recently playing No. 5 Florida in a pair of games at the Florida Classic.

Series Notes

  • Tech is tied 1-1 in the overall series against the College of Charleston and will take on the Cougars for the very first time at Mewborn.
  • It’s been over 25 years since Tech last played the College of Charleston with the last meeting being back in the 2000 season.
  • Tech leads the overall series against cross town opponent Georgia State, 56-25. While hosting the Panthers, the Yellow Jackets hold a 28-9 winning record.
  • The Yellow Jackets have taken nine consecutive games against the Panthers entering Thursday’s showdown.
  • Against the Big Ten Boilermakers, Tech trails the overall series 3-1. Friday’s meeting will be the first in a decade with the last being back in February of 2016 at Mewborn Field.
