Virginia Tech's Stunning Comeback in ACC Tournament

0:00On March 6th, Virginia Tech Women's basketball pulled off a stunning comeback to beat Georgia Tech 62-54 in the ACC tournament, advancing to the quarter-finals. The Hokies, now 23-8 overall, started ice cold, making just one of their first 16 shots from the field and trailing 17 to 3 early on. They flipped the script in the second quarter with a big run that gave them the lead by halftime. Players like Mackenzie Nelson stepped up huge, scoring 14 points with 9 rebounds in 6 assists, while Carly Wenzel led the team with 15 points. The wind showed the team's depth, as several players contributed even on offshooting nights, much like their earlier victory over the same opponent. Coach Duffy credited a defensive reset after a shaky start, forcing turnovers and dominating fast breaks 24-5. Both teams struggled from the field around 37%, but Virginia Tech's edge in transition and fouling out Georgia Tech's top scores, sealed it.

1:01The Hokies outrebounded and outthussled their way to victory. Up next, they faced third-seeded North Carolina tomorrow at 7.30pm Eastern Time on the ACC network, looking to build on this gritty performance.
