Georgia Tech faces a pair of tough opponents over the Thanksgiving holiday, taking part in the Cancun Challenge. The Yellow Jackets open the tournament on Thursday against Creighton before facing New Mexico on Friday. Tech carries a 4-0 record into the tournament having just upended Kennesaw State last Sunday, 77-38.

Three Bluejays are averaging double-figures on the season led by Lauren Jensen and Morgan Maly with 17.3 and 17.0 points per game averages, respectively. Creighton just recently dropped out of the nation’s top 25, opening the season No. 22/23 preseason and No. 22/24 after week one.

Competitive Drive Initiative Turn 2
Looking to build on the success of last year’s Competitive Drive Initiative, Georgia Tech, the Georgia Tech Foundation and Georgia Tech athletics are partnering once again to launch Competitive Drive Initiative Turn 2. CDI Turn 2 has a goal of raising $2.5 million in new gifts to the Alexander-Tharpe Fund’s Athletic Scholarship Fund by Dec. 31, and Georgia Tech and the Georgia Tech Foundation will match eligible gifts to accelerate the impact for Tech athletics. Like last year, not only will gifts to CDI Turn 2 be matched, but so will the contributor’s benefits in the way of A-T Fund giving levels and priority points.
