Shortly after the rise of women’s basketball to the varsity level, Hilliard would make history as the first African-American women ever to play basketball at Georgia Tech. She also became the first African-American woman to letter in it.
Over the course of 50 seasons, the Yellow Jackets have been guided by six head coaches, including Georgia Tech Hall of Famers Bernadette McGlade (1982-88) and Agnus Berenato (1988-2003). In total, Georgia Tech has inducted 13 student-athletes or coaches from women’s basketball into the Hall of Fame.
