Nell Fortner’s 2-0 Yellow Jacket squad took on Auburn in the return game of a home and home after losing to the Tigers last season. Auburn just came off a stellar defensive performance, forcing 31 turnovers against South Alabama. Tech was 0-4 all-time going into the game against the Tigers. The Jackets were coming off two comfortable home wins against Kennesaw State and Georgia State.
How It Happened
Fortner kept the same starting lineup from the first two games (Hermosa, Swartz, Blackshear, Jackson, Morgan). The game was defensively dominant on both sides to start. Tech came out with a 6-3 lead halfway through the first quarter coming from a couple good plays that allowed for open layups from Tonie Morgan and Bianca Jackson.
