Georgia Tech heads to Virginia for a midweek tilt against the Cavaliers. Coming off a win to snap a three-game skid, the Yellow Jackets seek their second ACC road win of the year. Last Sunday, Tech upended Clemson, 89-65, with six Jackets reaching double figures. Kara Dunn led the way offensively with 20 points, while Tonie Morgan made history, recording her first collegiate triple-double. Morgan became just the fourth player in the ACC to own a triple-double this season and the first Jacket since 2002 to post the elite performance in Georgia Tech history.
Virginia comes into Thursday’s matchup having dropped two of its past three games, most recently falling at NC State, 73-68. When competing at home, the Cavaliers are 8-3 with an ACC win over Wake Forest. This season, Kymora Johnson leads Virginia offensively, averaging 18.1 points per game. Latasha Lattimore follows at 13.4 points and a team-high 9.2 rebounds per game.
Virginia leads the all-time series, 59-19, against Georgia Tech. But the Yellow Jackets have taken three of the past four meetings, including a 63-60 decision in Atlanta last year. Tech seeks its first win in Charlottesville since 2015, having dropped the last three meetings in John Paul Jones Arena.

GEORGIA TECH WOMEN’S BASKETBALL CELEBRATES 50 YEARS
Georgia Tech is celebrating the 50th anniversary of women’s basketball on The Flats this season. Under the direction of coach Jim Culpepper, Georgia Tech competed its first year in the Georgia Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (GAIAW) in 1974-75 before joining the ACC in 1979-80. Tech has seen many highlights over 50 years, including playing in the NCAA Tournament 11 times, with two Sweet 16 appearances (2012, 2021), and producing nine WNBA draft picks, featuring first round draft picks Alex Montgomery and Sasha Goodlett. In its first postseason berth in school history, Georgia Tech captured the 1992 National Women’s Invitational Tournament. Currently in its sixth season under head coach Nell Fortner, the Yellow Jackets have reach postseason play three times in the last five years.
