Junior forward Jada Crawshaw provided punch off the bench but Georgia Tech slipped late in a narrow home loss to Jacksonville. The Darwin product logged 14 minutes, finishing with six points, a rebound, and two turnovers on 2-from-7 shooting, while hitting 2-of-4 at the line. After a strong start to the season, Crawshaw battled for interior position and created scoring chances inside, but the Yellow Jackets struggled to generate consistent offense down the stretch.
