🦃 MAKE YOUR PLEDGE

Virginia Tech Athletics and the Hokie Club have officially tipped off the 2026-27 Winter Pledge Per campaign, giving fans a high-energy way to back their favorite teams all season long.

Choose your team, set your pledge, and watch your support grow with every moment that matters from threes, to pins, to record-setting performances and postseason runs.

🔼 Feelin’ 100. In all of her preseason media sessions, head coach Megan Duffy talked about the offensive potential of this year’s Virginia Tech women’s hoops squad.

Through the first two games of the 2026-27 season, the Hokies have lived up to the billing and much more. Tech moved to 2-0 on Wednesday night with an electric offensive performance, cruising to a 101-53 victory over visiting Delaware.

Freshman Jessica Dimaro led all scorers with 19 points, while also grabbing seven rebounds, five of which were on the offensive glass. Veteran Carleigh Wenzel added 18 points and four assists, while Samyha Suffren chipped in 16 points, two assists and two steals.

🔼 Back At It. Virginia Tech men's basketball looks to build on a strong start to the 2026-27 season tonight when the Hokies welcome Mercer to Cassell Coliseum.

Head coach Mike Young's squad enters the matchup 1-0 after opening the season with an impressive 88-54 victory over Coppin State on Tuesday, giving the Hokies an opportunity to begin the year with consecutive home wins, before hitting the road next week for a road showdown with Iowa.

Tip off on ACC Network Extra is set for 7 p.m. ET.

🔼 Brick By Brick. Virginia Tech Wrestling has spent two decades building toward a season like this.

In Episode 1 of Brick By Brick: Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling, head coach Tony Robie reflects on the journey of building up the Hokies, the culture behind it, and the relationships that have shaped the program, including his decision to donate a kidney to the father of former Virginia Tech All-American and current staff member Sam Latona.

Now, the pieces appear to be in place. The foundation is there.

Now the Hokies have to prove it.

🔼 Tussle In Texas. For a second straight game, Virginia Tech football hits the road, this time heading to Dallas for a critical Friday night ACC showdown with SMU.

The contest will be the first time the two teams have taken the field since 1974, bringing a new chapter into the history of the two institutions.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. on ESPN.
