ATLANTA – After rolling to the conference championship last spring, Georgia Tech has been voted to repeat the accomplishment this spring in the SouthEastern Lacrosse Conference (SELC), according to the preseason coaches poll.

The Yellow Jackets (15-4), which fell in the quarterfinals of the 2023 MCLA National Championships presented by New Balance to eventual champ Concordia, were awarded five of the 10 first-place votes cast.
