🔼 Movin’ On Up. Two Virginia Tech programs climbed into the national spotlight this week as both the women’s golf and women’s cross country squads moved into the top-25 in the latest polls in their respective sports.
With ACC Championships set for next weekend, the women’s cross country team were ranked No. 20 in this week’s USTFCCCA poll, while the women’s golf team jumped to No. 23.
Individually, Valentine Delon is ranked as the sixth-best women’s golfer in the entire country.

Vazquez joins Noe Uwimana as the only two Tech players to score four goals this season
The Hokies resume the last stretch of their ACC season on Sunday at 2 p.m. against No. 3 Clemson as the first match of the doubleheader. The match will be shown nationally on ESPNU.
🔼 League ‘Em. This week, the 2026-27 NBA season opened with a pair of former Hokies set to make some noise in the league.
🔼 First Look: VT At Clemson. After claiming a strong 34-24 victory against Georgia Tech in the Homecoming contest this past weekend, the Virginia Tech football team will play their first of two road games over three weeks as they face Clemson on Oct. 24 at 7 p.m. ET.
The matchup – which will be on primetime television on ESPN – will feature two ACC foes seeking their third win in conference play in the 2026 regular season.
The Hokies can secure bowl eligibility with a weekend victory in Death Valley.
🔼 The Break Down. It’s another big week for Virginia Tech football as ACC action is heating up as November draws near.
The Hokies will head to Death Valley this Saturday night to square off with perennial ACC contender Clemson.
In the latest edition of the Level Seven Podcast Presented by CMG Leasing, Tech broadcasters Bill Roth and Mike Burnop preview the game, plus are joined by special guest electric big-play wide receiver Que’Sean Brown, who not only leads the Hokies in receiving, but is the nation’s leading punt returner.
