>> Closing in on a berth in the ACC Tournament, Georgia Tech heads to No. 1 Virginia this weekend in the Yellow Jackets’ final conference series of the regular season.

>> Tech is 6-3 in its last nine games versus No. 1-ranked teams, taking the series from Florida State earlier this year, going 1-1 at Vanderbilt in last year’s Nashville Regional, winning a series versus North Carolina last season and beating the Seminoles in the 2012 ACC Tournament.

>> The Yellow Jackets can lock up a tournament spot with one win over the Cavaliers. The 10-team ACC Tournament is May 20-25 in Greensboro, N.C.
