Georgia Tech women’s basketball looks to snap a two-game skid on Sunday when it welcomes Boston College for a 2 p.m. matinee. The Yellow Jackets dropped a heartbreaker against No. 23/24 North Carolina last Thursday, 73-68. Tech trailed by 14 points with 5:30 left to play in the game before staging a late rally, ultimately cutting it to two points with 11 seconds to play. But the Tar Heels went 6-for-6 from the free throw line down the stretch to seal the win.

The Eagles have dropped all three league games on the road this season, but are 3-0 when competing at home against conference opponents. Four players average double-figures to lead the Eagles. Andrea Daley produces a team-high 15.9 points per game on average, while Teya Sidberry adds 13.3 points and a team-best 6.9 rebounds per game.
Georgia Tech leads the all-time series against Boston College, 15-9, dating back to the first meeting in 1991.
