Over the final nine matches, the Red Raiders showed improvement under the duo, breaking a four-year road conference losing streak and winning more sets than a Tech team had done in conference since 2007.

As a player, Gandy finished her career as one of just eight Tech players to record 1,000 career kills, while posting 367 total blocks, sixth best on the school's all-time chart. She is also one four Tech players to finish a career with over 300-plus block assists.
