Men’s Soccer
Well! The Hokies certainly made a splash on Sunday when they defeated then No. 1 Marshall, 3-2, during their second match at the Fairfield Inn by Marriott JMU Invitational! At the half Virginia Tech was blanked and trailing by two. They took over during the second half and scored three goals while holding the Thundering Herd scoreless. The victory pulled the men’s team, previously No. 15, into the No. 10 spot! Next, VT travels to Raleigh for the NC State Tournament. There the list of challenging opponents will grow when they face Central Florida (Friday) and No. 20 Seton Hall (Monday). The Hokies improve to 1-1 on the season. Congratulations and well-done gentleman!

Women’s Soccer
After smashing Elon, 7-1, the ladies of Virginia Tech fell to the Cincinnati Bearcats, 2-1. Despite surpassing the Bearcats shots and shots-on-goal the Cincinnati defense held off the Hokies after a lightning delay. Next up VT travels to Harrisonburg to participate in the Fairfield by Marriott Invitational. Awaiting them is in-state rival JMU (Thursday) and Santa Clara (Sunday). The Hokies are now 3-1 on the season. Solid work to open the season!
Result’s no indication of the effort today.
