Virginia Tech made four of its first five shots to grab a quick lead and would never give it up, downing Wake Forest 62-52 on the Deacs' Senior Night last Thursday.
Senior Sandra Garcia notched her third double-double of the year in the loss, finishing with 13 points and a game-high 12 rebounds. The Miami, Fla., native has grabbed 44 rebounds over the last four games.
Junior point guard Chelsea Douglas was 3-of-5 from beyond the arc and finished with a game-high 18 points. That was her 25th game this season with 10 or more points.
Virginia Tech held Wake to just 18 field goals and forced the Deacons into 20 turnovers.
