A 64-61 second-round Women’s National Invitational Tournament loss to Tulane closed the book on the Tech women’s basketball season. It was a quietly successful slate, one that saw the Jackets win at Duke’s hostile Cameron Indoor Stadium for the first time in decades, notch 20 wins and tread .500 in a conference that is sending Syracuse to the national title game.
The team’s success has extended beyond their record. Two individuals, graduating senior guard/forward Aaliyah Whiteside and junior forward Katarina Vuckovic, have garnered national accolades.
Whiteside was named an All-American Honorable Mention by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, an honor that puts her among the top 52 women’s players in the country.
