Greatest Tech team ever?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Georgia Tech’s women’s tennis team plays tonight at 6 p.m. for a berth in the NCAA championship match. The only other Tech teams to reach an NCAA final were the 2003-04 men’s basketball team, which lost to Connecticut in the Final Four at San Antonio, Texas, and the 1994 baseball team, which lost to Oklahoma in the final of the College World Series.
So the women’s tennis team got me thinking: Which teams, regardless of sport, are the greatest in Tech history? And where might Kristi Miller, Alison Silverio, Amanda Craddock, Amanda McDowell, Christy Striplin, Tarryn Rudman, Whitney McCray and Kirsten Flower fit in?
Pending the outcome of the tennis tournament, I would put the 1952 football national champion at the top of my list and the 1990 football national champion second, though you could make a case for the football teams of 1928 and 1917.
