Virginia Tech has long been in the shadow when it comes to facing Georgia women's basketball. With a current record of 5 - 4 against them, this year holds a glimmer of hope. The Lady Bulldogs, a team with a young core relying on seniors and freshmen, find themselves in a unique situation. Their leading scorer, Mia Woolfolk, has been sidelined since game one due to a foot injury, with details and a return timeline remaining undisclosed. Trinity Turner, the second-leading scorer, averages 13 points per game but shoots only 31.9% from the field, having completed 45 out of 141 attempts. De’Mauri Flournoy and Asia Avinger round out the top four, averaging 11.7 and 10.3 points per game respectively. Their consistency has improved from last year, yet there seems to be a missing link, likely related to the age and experience gap.

Virginia Tech's Scoring Power

Virginia Tech boasts four consistent scorers based on their stats. They have only lost to Big Ten teams so far - Iowa and Michigan. Matilda Ekh, who hails from Michigan State and joined the Hokies in 2023, averages 11.4 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. Then there are Carleigh Wenzel and Rose Micheaux. Wenzel averages 14.5 points per game, while Micheaux averages 13.9, leading the Hokies to a 6 - 2 record. Carys Baker rounds out the top four with an average of 9.9 points per game. It will be a fierce battle in Stegeman Coliseum, and the outcome remains uncertain.

Georgia's Basketball Journey

Georgia women's basketball has a rich history. Their series record against Virginia Tech stands at 4 - 0, with their last win coming on November 30, 2019, with a score of 77 - 72. Their 2024 - 25 schedule is packed with exciting matchups. In November, they had a mix of wins and losses, including victories over NC Central, Houston, Furman, and Prairie View A&M, but also suffered defeats against Georgia State and Penn State.
