Georgia Tech (7-13, 1-7 ACC)
The Yellow Jackets are looking to snap a five-game losing streak and finish the first half of the ACC schedule on a high note. The Jackets’ last win came against No. 18 Florida State in four sets at O’Keefe Gym, marking the Seminoles only loss in conference play this season.
Senior Jennifer Percy leads Georgia Tech with 221 kills and 3.20 kills pet set. Senior Quinn Evans owns a team-best .309 hitting percentage, which ranks ninth in the ACC. Evans leads the team with 13 solo blocks and is averaging 1.10 blocks per set.
Syracuse (8-12, 3-5)
The Orange posted two wins on the road last weekend against Maryland, 3-0, and Pitt, 3-1. Syracuse is 4-6 in its last 10 matches, with the third conference win coming against Virginia in that span.
Syracuse’s main offensive threats are Silvi Uattara with 235 kills (3.31/set) and Nicolette Serratore with 207 kills (2.88/set). The Jackets will need to hit around the block of Lindsay McCabe, who leads the team with 12 solo blocks and 1.22 per set, which ranks sixth in the ACC.
The Jackets and Orange have only met once in school history. The match was 24 years ago on Oct. 13, 1989 and the Orange won 3-0 at home.
Boston College (8-12, 0-8)
The Eagles are searching for their first ACC win this season when they host Clemson Friday, before meeting Georgia Tech Sunday.
Katty Workman is Boston College’s main set-getter with 282 kills on 756 swings for 3.86 kills per set, which ranks third in the league. Amanda Yerke (141 kills) and Melissa McTighe (154) are the other two point-scorers for the Eagles.
