Danielle Vaughn added six points in the setback. Candice Carmine matched her season-best with eight points off the bench.
After Tech raced out to a 28-8 lead through the first ten minutes of the contest, it was JSU that finished the half with a scoring spurt to get back into the contest.

JSU trimmed the deficit down to six points after a Danielle Vaughn jumper with 2:13 left in the half.
Tech started the second half in similar fashion with a 30-6 scoring run to break open the contest. The Yellow Jackets built its 30-plus point lead at 56-26 at the 15:20 mark of the half.
