Virginia Tech Hokies Women’s Basketball Crashes Georgia Tech’s Wreck: 87-69
It really wasn’t as close as it looked, either. A healthy Georgia Amoore double-doubles on points and assists, Liz was a scoring machine in the 1st half, and Olivia Summiel misses a double-double by one rebound. It was a dominant performance by the Hokies and a solid win for the resume. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Women’s Basketball Pulls Away in the 2nd for a Win Over Clemson: 74-62
The Lady Hokies hosted the Lady Tigers for a noon tilt in the Cassell. The Hokies were without Georgia Amoore and even with Clemson struggling it was a critical ACC game that was a must win. The team really stepped up and covered the loss of their floor quarterback to pull down a W off the boards. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Women’s Basketball Falls Hard to Duke: 46-63
It was magic in the 1st quarter, and then things began to shake apart. The Hokies melted in the 2nd half and struggled to both score and keep a handle on the ball. Need to get back to winning on Sunday. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Women’s Basketball is Tripped Up by Florida State:
It was a tough and controversial loss in Tallahassee against Florida State. Liz scores 30 and gets 12 rebounds. Tilly, Georgia, and Rose score in double figures. Duke is up next, there. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokie Women’s Basketball Blows Down the Miami Lady Hurricanes: 76-52
It seemed like it was going to be a tough slog there for about 14 minutes, and then not so much. The Hokies get a bit of a slow start, and then accelerate away from the Hurricanes to remain undefeated in the ACC. Liz does it again, with G and Tilly in double figures. Solid win. GO HOKIES!!!
#13 Virginia Tech Hokies Women’s Basketball Comes from Behind to Beat #3 NC State: 63-62
Holy Cow! Yowsers! And there was much rejoicing... yea. What can you say. The Lady Hokies played to a record sellout crowd that was deafening in the 4th quarter. They stage a huge comeback to have the King to Kitley magic happen to take the game by a point. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Women’s Basketball Holds Off Rallying Wake Forest: 82-73
The 13th ranked Lady Hokies travel to Winston-Salem to play the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in the Hokies’ second ACC game, and an important confidence building road game before the big Sunday contest against NC State in Blacksburg. It looked like a runaway at the end of the 2nd quarter, but Wake wasn’t getting that message. It was a tough fight until the final buzzer. Hokies win, though.
#14 Virginia Tech Hokies Women’s Basketball Thumps the Pitt Lady Panthers: 91-41
When you work to take Liz out of the game by constant double teams, watch out! Everyone else, led by Georgia Amoore will take it to you even more. Six players in double figures. It was a team tumping of the Pathers. GO HOKIES!!!
The Final Virginia Tech Hokie Good, Bad, and Ugly of 2023: Military Bowl Victory
Well, that was a wet one. A great and necessary win was organized by the Hokies in the monsoon of a cold January Annapolis afternoon. Hokie Nation turned out, and the good team showed up, too! It was a pure winner... sort of. Now, let’s go over the last game of 2023 with some objectivity. GO HOKIES!!!
Virginia Tech Hokies Run Away with the Military Bowl on Tulane: 41-20
It was wet... then it got wetter. Tech started a bit slow, but just kept building momentum, closed the 1st half ahead 17-10, and ran away with it in the 2nd half. Literally... 1st bowl win since 2016, 1st winning season since 2017. GO HOKIES!!!
