No. 17 Georgia Tech handled business Sunday in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, dominating Boston College for a 71-51 win. A trio of Yellow Jackets finished in double-figures, lifting Tech to its 20th win of the season.
Kara Dunn logged a game-high 23 points for her seventh 20-plus point outing this season. Zoe Smith added 16 points to go with her team-high 11 rebounds while Tonie Morgan finished with 13 points. The Jackets won the battle on the boards 42-33 and shot 49.1% from the field.
A solid first half from the Yellow Jackets (20-4, 8-4 ACC) left Tech in control at intermission 36-15. All eight Jackets contributed offensively, led by Dunn’s 15-point half as the Jackets shot 43.8% from the field.
Tech opened a double figure lead off a pair of free throws from Dunn in the first quarter and extended its lead to 20 following a Smith bucket in the second frame. Chazadi Wright closed the half with a jumper to send the Jackets to the locker room leading by 21.
A 9-2 spurt to open the third quarter pushed Tech’s lead out to 45-17 with just more than four minutes expired into the half. Tech would hold a comfortable lead the remainder of the game despite the Eagles trying to rally led by 15 points from T’yana Todd in the final 20 minutes. Boston College would not come closer than 15 as the Jackets maintained poise to the final minute.
The 20th win of the season for Tech gave coach Nell Fortner a third 20-win campaign since 2019-20. Tech defeated its 17th opponent this season by at least 10 points.
Tech travels to Clemson at 7 p.m. Thursday.
