This Is Georgia Tech Softball

A Winning Tradition

  • The Yellow Jackets have won three of the last four ACC Tournaments

  • Georgia Tech has won three-consecutive ACC regular season titles (2009, 2010, 2011) for the first time in program history

  • During that time, Head Coach Sharon Perkins became the first ACC coach to be named Coach of the Year in three straight seasons

  • The Yellow Jackets have advanced to 11 straight NCAA Tournaments

  • Georgia Tech has won at least one NCAA Tournament game each season and advanced to a regional final four times

  • In 2009, Georgia Tech won its first ever regional and hosted eventual national champion Washington in a Super Regional

  • In 2010, the Yellow Jackets spent the entire season ranked in the NFCA top 25 for the first time in school history and earned an out-right national seed in the NCAA Tournament

  • Since Sharon Perkins took over as head coach in 2007, Georgia Tech has won more ACC games (89) than any other school

  • Kelsi Weseman (2009-12) was named the school's eighth All-American, the fifth during Perkin's tenure, in 2011. Weseman became the third player in ACC history to earn ACC Player of the Year honors in back-to-back seasons (2011 and 2012).

  • 2010 graduate Jen Yee set or broke more than a dozen school and ACC records. In 2010, she was a finalist for the USA Softball Player of the Year while leading the nation in batting average, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, runs scored and walks. She became just the third Yellow Jacket to earn first-team NFCA All-America honors

  • One of the pioneers of Georgia Tech women's athletics was Laura Williams who was Tech's first All-American in softball and is the only softball player on the school's athletic hall of fame

  • Caitlin Lever left her name all over the record books in just three seasons at Georgia Tech. She was a first-team All-American in 2007
