On a four-game winning streak, the Georgia Tech volleyball team was elevated to No. 13 in the latest Top 25 poll. It is the highest that the Yellow Jackets have been ranked in the AVCA Top 25 poll since the 2004 season, not counting their appearance at No. 6 last year at the end of last fall season, when the ACC was one of only four conferences playing. The poll was released Monday.

Tech moved up from No. 16 following its road win over then-No. 2 Pittsburgh. The Jackets then swept both of their matches last week, over Clemson and Duke, to improve to 15-3 overall and 6-2 in the ACC.

Tech will be on the road for both of its matches this weekend, at Syracuse on Friday and at Boston College Sunday.
