LAST TIME THEY MET
Georgia Tech and MTSU met twice last season – once in regular season play in Murfreesboro and again in March in the WNIT in Atlanta. In the last meeting, Tech defeated MTSU in the third round of the WNIT to clinch a spot in the quarterfinals. Francesca Pan and Zaire O’Neil led the Jackets in both games against MTSU last season.
