Hokie Sports Round Up

It’s Homecoming Weekend in Blacksburg! How are the Hokies doing in their many athletic efforts?

Men’s Soccer

After upsetting the No. 1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish, The Virginia Tech men’s soccer team tore off three more wins over Longwood, Boston College, and South Carolina. They are currently riding a two-game losing streak after falling to No. 7 Louisville and No. 2 Wake Forest. The squad looks to regroup this evening against William and Mary. The Hokies currently sport a 7-6 overall record and a 2-4 conference record.

Women’s Soccer

The women of Virginia Tech have accomplished a surprising amount of tie games this season. Their overall record is 7-4-4 with a conference record of 1-3-3. After consecutive tie games against Boston College and No. 15 Wake Forest they fell to Clemson, but recently recovered against Notre Dame. Tomorrow the Hokies will face the No. 5 North Carolina Tar Heels.

Volleyball

The Hokies are struggling this season with an overall record of 7-12 and a conference record of 1-7. Unfortunately, they have yet to win a home match this season. There is a bright spot amongst the tribulations though. Virginia Tech did defeat UVA, 3-1, but since then has been on a five-game slide. VT will pursue their first home win of the season this Friday when Wake Forest comes calling.

Swimming and Diving

The men and women kicked off their season this past week and are already sitting pretty with both men and women defeating the Duke Blue Devils and the Florida State Seminoles. The Action continues this weekend at the Christiansburg Aquatic Center during the Virginia Tech Spirit Challenge.

Women’s Basketball

This Thursday head coach Kenny Brooks and player Regan Magarity will be in Charlotte for the ACC Media day. Tip off is less than a month away. The Hokies start their season 10 November when they host Wagner.

Go Hokies!!!
