No. 17 GEORGIA TECH (15-2, 3-2 ACC) at No. 3 NOTRE DAME (14-2, 5-0 ACC)

Georgia Tech women’s basketball looks to get back to winning ways, continuing this road swing at No. 3 Notre Dame on Thursday. The Yellow Jackets, playing without leading scorer Dani Carnegie in majority of its last two games, have dropped two in a row, most recently falling at Louisville. Despite a trio of Jackets finishing in double figures at Louisville, Tech couldn’t overcome a first half deficit. Kara Dunn led the way offensively with 18 points, while Inés Noguero pulled down a team-high six rebounds.

Notre Dame comes into the matchup on a nine-game win streak that snapped a two-game skid. Notre Dame’s only losses of the season came against TCU and Utah. The Fighting Irish are led by Hannah Hidalgo, who averages 25.7 points per game, while Liatu King, a transfer from Pitt, averages a double-double on the season to lead in rebounding. Notre Dame is the only remaining undefeated team in ACC play and sits atop the standings.

Georgia Tech and Notre Dame are meeting for the 20^th time in program history on Thursday. The Fighting Irish lead the series, 18-1, as Tech looks to pick up its first win since 2020. ND has won the last five-straight meetings.
