The 18th-ranked and top scoring defense Jacket women’s basketball team finished 3-1 in a stretch of four games in eight days against conference opponents, including tight finishes against Florida State at home and Miami on the road.

The four game run began at home against an overmatched Virginia Cavalier side on Jan. 9, despite only having seven available players for head coach Nell Fortner due to illness with the team. Tech won 67-31, which included a 21-0 scoring run. The Cavaliers were held to single digits in each of the second through fourth quarters.

“[I’m] really proud of their effort and how hard they continue to play and fight and listen to their coaches.
