ATLANTA – Middle Tennessee's strong defense gave the team a chance to score Power-5 road win but the Lady Raiders were unable to generate enough offense in a 48-45 setback against Georgia Tech here Sunday.
The Lady Raiders (4-2) held the Yellow Jackets (8-1) to 38 percent (17-of-44) shooting from the field, including 20 percent (2-of-10) from three-point range, while also forcing 24 Georgia Tech turnovers. It marked the third time Middle Tennessee has held an opponent to less than 50 points in six games this season.
Almost half of Middle Tennessee's points (21) were generated off of those Tech turnovers.
