Georgia Tech 3, Virginia 2

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Talisa Kellogg and Chrissy DeMichelis combined for 43 kills and Michelle Kandell notched a career-high 32 digs to lead Georgia Tech (17-9, 11-5 ACC) to a 3-2 (15-30, 30-27, 26-30, 30-22, 15-6) victory over Virginia (15-10, 10-6 ACC) Sunday afternoon at Memorial Gym.

With the win, the Yellow Jackets moved into sole possession of third place in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings, behind co-ACC leaders Clemson and Duke. Virginia, which was tied with Tech entering the match, fell to fourth.

"I'm so proud of how our team regained their composure and focused on the game plan after coming out so flat in game one," head coach Bond Shymansky said. "We knew this was a must-win, like all of our matches are for the rest of the season, and we're happy to come away with the victory."
