DURHAM, N.C. – The Georgia Tech softball team was on fire Thursday night as the Yellow Jackets upset No. 15 Virginia Tech, 6-2, in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament.
Georgia Tech softball (32-22, 13-12 ACC) hit three home runs while limiting one of the best offenses in the country to just two runs as the Yellow Jackets at Duke Softball Stadium. It was the 300th victory in the career of head coach Aileen Morales.
Grace Connelly, Jayden Gailey and Tiffany Domingue contributed the long balls as Sophia Voyles and Makayla Coffield combined to hold the Hokies to only three hits and two runs over seven innings—the Yellow Jackets advance into the ACC Tournament Semifinals for the first time since 2012.
Georgia Tech will play No. 2-seeded Florida State (42-13, 19-5 ACC) in the semifinals Friday at 3:30 p.m. on ACC Network.
