SECOND TIME A CHARM?
The Yellow Jackets enter the NCAA tournament with an 11-11 record and a No. 54 national ranking. Georgia Tech made its first ever appearance in the NCAA's last year, falling in the second round.
WONG LEADS THE WAY
Sophomore Jaime Wong earned All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors for the second consecutive year after posting a 29-10 overall singles record, including a 19-12 mark in dual matches. Her 29 wins give her the second-highest single-season total in program history, just one shy of Bobbi Guthrie's school record, set in 1997-98. Wong is Tech's career leader in singles winning percentage (.767) and is third all-time at Tech in doubles winning percentage (.621).
TECH AGAINST THE FIELD
The Ramblin' Wreck is 0-1 all-time against UCLA after losing to the Bruins in the second round of the 2000 NCAA Championships in Los Angeles. Georgia Tech has never faced Fresno State or Cal State Northridge.
LOOKING TO LEAVE IN STYLE
Senior Bobbi Guthrie became Tech's all-time leader in doubles wins last fall when she and partner Kristen Roberson defeated Mississippi's Camilla Gould and Mira Radu on November 2. She currently has 73 doubles victories, giving her 10 more than second place Autumn Richards (1996-99). Guthrie also holds Georgia Tech school records for singles wins (30) and doubles wins (T, 23) in a season. She is second on the Yellow Jackets' career singles wins list (88) and third on Tech's career singles winning percentage list (.652).
SOLID DOWN LOW
Junior Laura Ozolins won the Atlantic Coast Conference Flight No. 6 Singles Championship with a perfect 6-0 record in conference play. With a 12-6 overall singles record and a 9-4 mark in dual matches, Ozolins is just the third player in program history to win an ACC flight championship, joining Kristy Kottich (Flight No. 3, 1989) and Bobbi Guthrie (Flight No. 3, 1998). Ozolins, a GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-America District III selection last year, became the first Georgia Tech female student-athlete to earn the Bobby Dodd Scholarship Award two years in a row. The award is the highest academic honor given to a returning student-athlete at Georgia Tech.
