Two years after a Sweet Sixteen appearance and a year after faltering in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to Kansas, Nell Fortner has a new team to work with, one unfamiliar to those who watched Tech the last few seasons. Tech recently was powered by stout defense and interior scoring. Last year, the Jackets reached their program high all time ranking at #11 before slipping down the stretch in conference play.
The Jackets return six players and welcome seven new faces between incoming freshman and transfers. Nerea Hermosa and Eylia Love are the only returning starters from last year’s squad, losing Lotta-Maj Lahtinen and Lorela Cubaj to graduation.
