Coming off a bye weekend, Georgia Tech returns to action with a pair of road matchups in the Sunshine State. The Yellow Jackets opened this four-match road swing two weekends ago at North Carolina and Duke, splitting the two. Tech collected a 4-1 victory at then-No. 21 Duke, 4-1, which propelled the Jackets back into the top 25 at No. 23. Carol Lee paces Tech from the No. 1 singles position, boasting a 9-3 dual record, while partnering with Kate Sharabura in doubles to own an 11-2 dual mark at the No. 1 doubles position.
Florida State concluded a three-match road swing last weekend, traveling to Notre Dame and Louisville. The Seminoles fell to the Fighting Irish, 4-3, before rebounding with a 5-1 win at Louisville on Sunday. FSU has collected ACC wins over Duke and Louisville to date.
Miami comes into the weekend winners of the past three matches and will host Clemson on Friday before welcoming the Yellow Jackets on Sunday. Most recently, the Hurricanes topped Louisville and Notre Dame on the road. The only ACC setback on the young season was a 4-3 loss against North Carolina in Coral Gables.
