Georgia Set To Begin Five-Match Road Trip, Open at Georgia Tech
February 17, 2024 | Women's Tennis
ATHENS, Ga. — The No. 8-ranked Georgia women's tennis team is set to begin a five-match road trip, opening against in-state rivals Georgia Tech on Sunday, Feb. 18 at noon ET at the Ken Byers Tennis Complex.
The Bulldogs (4-3) are coming off back-to-back top 10 victories in consolation play at the ITA Indoor Championships after knocking off then-ranked No. 8 Florida and No. 9 Texas A&M.
Georgia Tech (4-3) fell out of the top 25 in the most recent ITA women's team rankings as it currently sits outside the bubble while still receiving votes.Â
Both programs met in non-team scoring action back in January at the Michigan Invitational, where Georgia secured wins in two of three doubles matches.
The Bulldogs will aim to extend their season winning streak to three matches in what will be their last non-conference match of the regular season with SEC play on the horizon.
Georgia leads the all-time series record against Georgia Tech 29-6, where it has won the last five meetings and 11 of the last 13 dating back to 2010.
