ACC Women's Basketball Tournament: Updated Bracket and Schedule After 1st Round Matchups

Georgia Tech had an impressive fourth quarter to pull away from Pitt in today's first-round game

An impressive fourth quarter from Georgia Tech today gave them a first-round win over Pitt and set up a big second-round matchup with the Duke Blue Devils. Duke defeated Georgia Tech 84-46 in their last meeting and Nell Fortner's team is going to be hoping for a different outcome tomorrow evening. 

It all came down to the final quarter with Tech holding on to a 48-47 lead after Pitt claimed the third stanza. A pair of buckets from Liatu King put the Panthers up by one, but it would be the last time Pitt held an advantage as Dunn and Morgan answered with back-to-back three-point plays for a 58-53 Tech lead with 4:54 to go. Pitt chipped away, cutting the score to 60-58, but a three-pointer from Augustinaite at the 1:50 mark sank the Panthers as Tech controlled the final two minutes. The Jackets would extend their lead to 69-58 following a pair of free throws from Kayla Blackshear and close the win to advance to the second round.

Tonie Morgan led the Jackets with 24 points and 11 rebounds, hitting seven field goals and converting 10-of-13 free throw attempts. Dunn followed with 14 points and nine rebounds, while Augustinaite added 13 points and Blackshear contributed 12 points to the board. The Jackets dominated on the glass, winning the battle, 40-29, and hit 73 percent at the free throw line (19-26).

Aislin Malcolm and Perkins led Pitt with 16 points apiece, while King, who was held scoreless in the first half, finished with 15.
