Georgia Tech leads the all-time series 1-0, winning the only meeting, 84-45, on Dec. 31, 2003 in Atlanta. The Rattlers list two players from the Peach State. Senior Deidra Jones is from Powder Springs and Soph. Jawquella Woods hails from Columbus. Tech is 4-0 all-time against MEAC opponents. LOOKING BACK: NO. 25 GEORGIA TECH SNEAKS PAST UT-ARLINGTON, Jacqua Williams scored 16 of her career-high 20 points in the second half to lead the No. 25 Georgia Tech women s basketball team (10-2) to a win over UT-Arlington (4-6) in the championship game of the Bahamas Sunsplash Shootout Saturday. Williams went nine-of-10 from the free-throw line, dished out five assists and had four steals on her way to being named the tournament s Most Valuable Player. Alex Montgomery, who finished with 15 points and five rebounds, was named to the All-Tournament Team. PICK A POCKET OR TWO After three-plus seasons on the Flats, senior Jacqua Williams has earned the reputation as one of the best defenders in the nation. The speedster from Seattle, Wash., recorded her 279th career steal on Nov. 22, 2008 against Mississippi Valley State for a new school record, surpassing Kisha Ford and Tiffany Martin on the all-time steals list. Williams plans to obliterate the previous record over the next four months. Last season, Williams finished with a single-season school record 118 steals, leading the ACC and ranking fourth in the nation with 3.8 per game. She has registered at least one steal in 50 straight games and even held the ACC single game record for steals with 11 (later broken by former Yellow Jacket Jill Ingram with 14). This season she leads the Jackets with 54 steals and has 315 on her career. She currently leads the ACC and ranks second in the nation in steals with 4.5 per game. I WANT TO GO FAST Williams is not only one of the best defenders in the nation, she is also one of the fastest players. Williams has competed in two straight NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in the 200-meter dash. Last season, Williams qualified for the national event after only one and a half months of competition. SENIOR CLASS PILING UP WINS Georgia Tech s senior class of Tabitha Turner and Jacqua Williams have been a part of 67wins since beginning their careers on the Flats. The two Jackets have helped Tech to back-to-back record-setting seasons and are on pace to become the most successful class in the history of the program. With three more wins this season, the pair will accumulate the most wins by any senior class to ever play for the Yellow Jackets. Last year s seniors finished with a school-best 69 wins in their careers. All-Time GT Steals List 1.

3 The Florida A&M Game - Tues., Dec. 30, 2008 MORE ON WILLIAMS Jacqua Williams is the only Georgia Tech women s basketball player to ever register at least 150 points, 100 steals and 100 rebounds in the same season when she did it last year. RECOGNITION WELL DESERVED Alex Montgomery led Georgia Tech with 18 points and four rebounds in a win over Oregon at the Rose Garden. For her effort, Montgomery was named the Pape Jam Most Valuable Player. At the Bahamas Sunsplash Shootout, Jacqua Williams tied her career-high with 20 points by scoring 16 in the second half to help Tech defeat UT-Arlington in the championship game to earn the tournament s MVP. Montgomery was named to the All- Tournament team for her successful play during the weekend. GT Double-Doubles (Active Players) Career Alex Montgomery 1 2 Brigitte Ardossi 1 1 Iasia Hemingway 1 1 Jacqua Williams 0 1 AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE... OYE, OYE, OYE Junior Brigitte Ardossi started 26 games during her freshman season and helped the Jackets to their first win in the NCAA Tournament. Last season she was regulated to the first big off the bench and made the most of her opportunity by scoring 3.9 points per game and grabbing 2.8 rebounds in 14.5 minutes. Coach Joseph expects big things from her Aussie post-player in and has inserted her back into the starting lineup. She has played in 77 straight games, every game since coming to the Flats, and has started 38 of those games. Ardossi, who has elevated her game to a new level, is scoring 8.8 points a game and is grabbing 4.8 rebounds per game. She is also knocking down her free-throw attempts at an 78% clip. Against Tennessee Tech on Nov. 30, 2008, Ardossi scored a careerhigh 18 points to lead Tech to the win. On Dec. 5, Ardossi helped Tech defeat its archrival Georgia with her first career doubledouble (15 pts, 10 reb). SHE CAN DO IT ALL Anyone who watched Alex Montgomery play last season knows she can really do it all. She is not only the team s top returning scorer (10.8) and rebounder (5.4), Montgomery has also shown she can dish it, steal it, block it or even win a jump ball. A starter of 26 games as a freshman, Montgomery has become the center of the Yellow Jackets offense. She is averaging13.5 points, has grabbed 5.5 rebounds a game and is shooting 38 percent from beyond-the-arc. Montgomery registered her second career double-double (16 pts, 10 reb) in the Yellow Jackets win over Winthrop on Dec. 18, ACC Preseason Poll 1. North Carolina (15) 2. Maryland (11) 3. Duke (14) 4.

Wake Forest Preseason All-ACC Team Chante Black, Duke Marissa Coleman, Maryland Rashanda McCants, North Carolina Kristi Toliver, Maryland Monica Wright, Virginia Preseason Player of the Year: Kristi Toliver, Maryland Preseason Rookie of the Year: Lynetta Kizer, Maryland BIG SHOT MONTGOMERY With under 10 seconds remaining on the clock and the Jackets need someone to knock down a big shot, Alex Montgomery has not shyed away from taking it. Last season, Montgomery hit a game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer to lift Tech past Miami at home (1/15/08). Montgomery has continued to show no fear when a big shot is needed, knocking down a three-pointer as time expired before halftime in three straight games (Michigan State, Georgia and Oregon). MOVING OUT Sophomore Iasia Hemingway excelled as an undersized post player for the Jackets last season, scoring over 20 points against the likes of Maryland s Crystal Langhorne and Tasha Humphrey of Georgia. This season, Coach Joseph has added some taller players to the Jackets roster that will allow Hemingway to take her game outside to the wing. Hemingway will now have a chance to not only post up players her height, she will also be able to take the ball to the basket and box out smaller guards for rebounds. Hemingway is averging 11.6 points and is registering 4.5 rebounds a game. She recorded her first career double-double against Georgia State (21 pts, 11 reb.) on Nov. 26, Hemingway has also shown a knack for getting to the free-throw line, with 59 attempts so far and is shooting 70 percent from the charity stripe. GOODLETT IS GOOD For the second straight year, Coach Joseph started a freshman on opening night. 6-5 Sasha Goodlett made a big impression on the coaching staff this preseason and has added a new dimension to the Yellow Jackets lineup. Joseph called her squad the best 6-0 and under team in the country but by adding Goodlett will give the Jackets the true center they have been missing. Along with Goodlett, Tech now lists five players at 6-2 or The Numbers Game Straight NCAA Tournament appearances and 20- win seasons for the Jackets The Jackets will play three No. 1 seeds from the 2008 NCAA Tournament this year (UNC, Maryland, UConn) Nine Yellow Jacket opponents are ranked or receiving votes in the latest AP and Coaches Polls Georgia Tech has 10 underclassman on the roster The amount of teams on the schedule that played in the postseason last year The amount of wins by the Yellow Jackets, the school-record for wins in a season Richard Musterer, the voice of the Lady Jackets, will celebrate his 25th year on air on Nov. 26th.

Goodlett has started four of the Jackets first five games. SIXTH (WO)MAN Most teams are lucky enough to have a solid starting five. This season, Joseph feels she can list six starters on her roster. Sophomore s Deja Foster has shown the ability to step on the court and make an instant impact for the Jackets. Foster is averaging 22.9 minutes and started her first career game on Nov. 30, 2008 against Tennessee Tech. Foster is scoring 7.7 points a game and is averaging 4.5 rebounds. Against Michigan State, she sparked Tech in the final five minutes with her first career three-pointer and back-to-back three-point plays on her way to a career-high 13 points. STILL MO RE TO COME Ranked as high as the 29th-best prospect coming out of high school, Mo Bennett has burst on the college scene with some impressive performances. In her debut, the Statesboro, Ga., native scored eight points and grabbed seven rebounds against Troy. Two days later, Bennett dropped 19 points in 30 minutes on No. 1 UConn at Gampel Pavilion. Members of the newly created ACC Blue Ribbon Panel were so impressed that they named Bennett the ACC Rookie of the Week on Nov. 17. Something tells me there will be Mo re to come. YOUNG GUNS The Georgia Tech roster is noticeably young with 10 players listed as sophomores and freshmen. Though young, the team is the most athletic team Coach Joseph has had since taking over at Georgia Tech. FULL COURT PRESS Last season, Georgia Tech finished the season with a school record 456 steals and led the NCAA with 14.3 steals per game. This has to be credited to Coach Joseph s pressing defense. Joseph will press for 40 minutes with numerous pressing schemes to keep the offensive off-balance. Joseph wants her team to be an impressive running defensive team that creates opportunities for the offense. Even though it is early in the season, Tech is averaging a staggering 14.6 steals a game. WINNING WITH COACH JO In just her sixth season at the helm, Coach MaChelle Joseph is already has registered the secondmost wins in Georgia Tech history. Joseph has registered an (.580) records. She has led Tech to its first back-to-back 20-win seasons and two straight NCAA Tournaments.

Sha-DAY Head Coach MaChelle Joseph MaChelle Joseph s appointment as head coach on May 19, 2003, marked the beginning of a new era for Georgia Tech women s basketball. A proven winner as both a player and assistant coach, she brought with her the vision of establishing the Georgia Tech women s basketball program as a contender in both the Atlantic Coach Conference and the national spotlight. After five successful seasons and the programs first back-to-back NCAA Tournament selections, Joseph was awarded a four-year contract extension from Tech Athletic Director Dan Radakovich. Joseph has guided the women s team to the program s first back-to-back 20-win seasons and has compiled an record in her six-plus seasons at the helm. This past season, the Jackets put together a record, the most wins since Tech joined the Atlantic Coast Conference in Joseph, 38, acquired a program that she helped take to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in a decade and just the second time in school history when she was named the Yellow Jackets head coach prior to the season. During her first season, Joseph tied the records for most overall and conference victories by a first-year head coach, tying her predecessor, Berenato, who left the Flats to become head coach at Pittsburgh after 15 seasons in the same post at Georgia Tech. That same season, Joseph became the first head coach in Georgia Tech history to win their conference opener when the Yellow Jackets defeated Florida State, 66-59, to open ACC play. In her fourth year at Tech, Joseph took the program to new heights. She coached the Jackets to a finish, the best in school history, and the program s first NCAA Tournament win, a thriller over DePaul. The Jackets also earned their first-ever winning record in ACC play, including wins over defending national champions and fourth-ranked Maryland and Sweet 16 participant NC State. Tech s 9-5 ACC record was seven wins better than last season and is the second-best turnaround in conference history. The campaign proved to be another successful season. The Jackets finished with a record. Tech also made its second straight NCAA Tournament appearance, another first for the Yellow Jacket program. The Jackets play earned them a national ranking of No. 23 in both the AP and ESPN/Coaches Polls during the week Jan.21, 2008, the team s first national ranking in 14 years.
