🔼 Flyin’ High. This time of year is all about giving and sharing.
The Virginia Tech men’s hoops team did just that on Sunday afternoon, using five players in double-figures to roll past Maryland Eastern Shore, 83-52, to improve to 10-2 on the season.
Neoklis Avdalas led the way in scoring for the second straight game, finishing with 16 points. He also dished out seven assists and grabbed three steals.
Christian Gurdak (13), Amani Hansberry (12), Tyler Johnson (12) and Ben Hammond (10) were the other Hokies in double-figures in the victory.
🔼 Sunday Funday. The potent offense of the Virginia Tech women’s hoops squad was on full display on Sunday as Carys Baker scored 20+ points for the third time in the past five games to lead the Hokies to a 73-55 victory over ETSU.
Mel Daley (13) and Samyha Suffren (12) were the other two players in double-figures, while Mackenzie Nelson dished out eight assists, seven points, three rebounds and three steals on the day.
Virginia Tech’s defense limited ETSU to just 5-of-17 from long range in the win.
🔼 Setting The Slate. Virginia Tech lacrosse head coach Kristen Skiera announced the Hokies’ 2026 17-game schedule on Friday afternoon. The slate features nine home games at Thompson Field with plenty of familiar foes in addition to some new competitors.
The Hokies will face seven squads that featured in the 2025 D1 Women’s Lacrosse Championship. That group includes Clemson, Virginia, James Madison, Duke, Stanford, Mercer and Syracuse.
Tech’s ACC foes this season also include Louisville, Pitt, Florida State in their first season of competition, Notre Dame and Cal.
