Tonight, Georgia Tech will square off with Western Kentucky in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament after the Jackets defeated The Citadel yesterday in their opening contest, while the Lady Toppers took out South Carolina in five sets. Tech moved to 24-5 on the season after the win.
In the first round of the tournament, Tech started the same seven that have become the usual suspects this season — Bianca Bertolino, Julia Bergmann, Mariana Brambilla, Paola Pimentel, Erin Moss, Breland Morrissette, and Matti McKissock. The match was tight out of the gate, as neither team was able to put together a long run, with the biggest lead of the early stage of the set not coming until the first media timeout when Tech extended their lead to three.
