BLACKSBURG, Va. – The 31^st-ranked Virginia Tech women’s tennis team will be back in action at the Burrows-Burleson Tennis Center on Friday at 3 p.m. as No. 16 Georgia Tech comes to town for a conference tilt in Blacksburg.

The Hokies (13-5, 6-3 ACC) are eyeing their fourth win in a row and looking to continue momentum as they head into a big weekend with matches against No. 3 North Carolina and No. 12 Virginia beginning next Friday. Tech is 8-1 at the Burrows-Burleson Tennis Center this season with the only loss coming in a tightly contested 4-3 affair with then-No. 20 Clemson.

Last time out Virginia Tech took down No. 43 N.C. State by a count of 5-2 on Sunday in Raleigh after taking care of Louisville 6-1 on the road on Friday. The wins bumped the Hokies up a couple spots from No. 33 to No. 31 in the latest ITA rankings and a victory over Georgia Tech would help them jump even higher in the polls as the regular season winds down.

The Yellow Jackets (12-5, 7-1) are on a win streak of their own, winning their last five matches, four of which came over ranked opponents. The Jackets moved from No. 22 to No. 16 in the nation after a pair of wins over No. 25 Clemson and Pittsburgh in Atlanta last weekend. They are led by Johnnise Renaud who is ranked 30^th in the country and was named the ACC Female Co-Player of the Week on Tuesday.

The match can be followed via live stats here.
