Lamprecht is currently playing in the Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa on the DP World Tour. Competing as an amateur, he was in 3rd place starting his round today. He having a tough round today dropping to 24th place. Coverage is on the Golf Channel now. Hopefully the success that he has experienced since last season bodes well for next year.

President Cabrera Survey

I just received an email from GT (Subject line: Georgia Tech requests your feedback) with a link to a quick survey asking about donations to GT, why we give back and what matters/is important to us as alumni. If you receive(d) this email as well, I urge you to complete the survey and place athletics at the top of your importance list (it is an option...so that's a start).

In my "write in section" I also stressed the importance of accepting legacy applicants and well-rounded individuals, that care about GT athletics, in an effort to continue to drive generational GT support (which will eventually include financial support).

Thanks!

Wife and I are still deciding if we’re going to Tampa for the game, so I thought I’d put this out there. We have a number of JOLers in the Jefferson/Braselton/Winder metroplex and several have voiced interest in a watch party. If I don’t end up going to Tampa I think it would be great fun to meet some of y’all and watch the game together. Cast your vote on location preference. Let the people speak!

FOOTBALL RECRUITING From CB commit Nehemiah Chandler..

He went pretty in-depth, enough to the point that he deserved his own thread.

Chandler was on the list for yesterday, but ended up not being able to make the trip.

He watched from home. After watching the game yesterday, he wasn’t surprised at all by the news that Thacker was re-assigned and will no longer be calling plays.

“I mean the defense Is looking pathetic so, some changes should have been made,” said Chandler. “Especially after losing to Bowling Green. That’s a performance that should ring bells that there are some changes that need made.”

Chandler, despite his openness about the struggles Georgia Tech is having defensively, remains fully locked in on Georgia Tech and believes in the vision of head coach Brent Key.

“Of course,” said Chandler about his belief in Key and his vision for the program. “This is his first official year on the job, and he has already made some big changes to GT.”

While he remains locked in, that hasn’t stopped nearby UCF from recruiting him. Chandler has let it be known that he is 100% committed to Georgia Tech each time they reach out.

GTVB: Jackets Fall in NCAA Regional Semifinals




LINCOLN, NEB. – No. 5 seed Georgia Tech volleyball (24-7, 13-4 ACC) saw its season come to a close, dropping a three-set match to No. 1 Nebraska (31-1, 19-1 Big Ten) 25-11, 25-16, 25-21, inside Bob Devaney Sports Center. Junior outside hitter Bianca Bertolino recorded her 1,000th career dig in the match as the Jackets finished tied for the second farthest NCAA Tournament run in program history.



QUICK HITS
  • The Jackets are now to 16-13 all-time in NCAA Tournament matches and 7-4 in the Michelle Collier era, the highest winning percentage of any Georgia Tech coach.
  • Tech ends its tournament run in the Regional semifinals, tied with 2004 for the second farthest NCAA Tournament run in program history.
  • In the past three seasons, Michelle Collier has matched the program records for the best (Regional Finals in 2003) and 2nd best (Regional Semifinals in 2004) NCAA Tournament results.
  • Bertolino recorded her 1,000th career dig in the match. She becomes just the 7th Jacket in program history to achieve 1,000 career kills and digs.
  • Senior outside hitter Tamara Otene surpassed 400 kills for the season. Georgia Tech has had at least one 400 kill hitter in each of the previous eight full seasons (excluding the shortened 2020-21 season), joining USC, Purdue and Stanford as the only programs to have done so.
  • Senior Paola Pimentel delivered 11 digs today. She made at least 10 digs in all three of her NCAA Tournament matches this year.
  • Pimentel finished the season with 473 digs, the most by any Jacket since 2016 (Ackermann – 570). Her 473 digs is the 11th most in a single season in program history and the fifth most in the modern scoring era.
  • Freshman setter Heloise Soares made two service aces today. Two of her three multi-ace matches have come in this NCAA Tournament – set a season-best with three aces in the 1st Round vs. South Alabama.
Set By Set



Set 1 (NEB, 25-11):
The opening set was one to forget as the Jackets struggled to establish themselves offensively. The Cornhuskers jumped in front, 8-2, and never looked back, riding the momentum from their home crowd to a 14-point victory.



Set 2 (NEB, 25-16): Another slow start allowed the Huskers to take a 6-1 lead, but this time, Tech responded, winning four of the next six points to cut the deficit to just three, 8-5. Tech kept the set within three to four points, until a late 3-0 Nebraska run ballooned the lead to 21-14, a mountain too difficult to climb.



Set 3 (NEB, 25-21): Tech showed its mettle in the third, forcing seven different lead changes and 15 ties in a back and forth battle. Neither side led by more than two points until another late Nebraska run turned a 18-19 Tech lead into a 23-19 deficit. The Jackets fought off two match points before succumbing to the No. 1 overall seed by four. The Jackets switched to a 5-1 rotation in the third as Soares set throughout play. Tech had an emphasis on the middle in the third as Soares set up DeAndra Pierce and Anna Boezi for five combined kills on .444 hitting. Bertolino and Pimentel shouldered the defensive load, as each tallied six digs in the third set, more than any individual Husker in the final frame.
