๐Ÿ”ผ The Glass Cleaners. Behind a dominant effort on the glass and a balanced offensive attack, the Virginia Tech womenโ€™s hoops squad surged to an 87-51 victory over Gardner-Webb on Thursday night to move to a perfect 3-0 to start the 2025-26 campaign.

Kilah Freelon powered the Hokies with a commanding double-double, posting 12 points and a career-high 18 rebounds, including nine on the offensive glass. Her effort anchored Techโ€™s frontcourt that dominated the boards, 54-27, and generated 35 second-chance points.
