Good Morning, Tech Fam. Lace ‘em up Hokie fans, it’s time to dance.

What else are we covering in today’s edition, Hokies?

🏀 Let’s Dance
🤼 Marchin’ On
⚾️ The Friendly Confines
🦃 And much, much more!

🔼 Let’s Dance. For the 14th time in program history, the Virginia Tech women’s hoops program will step on the floor at the NCAA Tournament this afternoon when the ninth-seeded Hokies square off with eighth-seeded Oregon.

Today’s matchup marks the fifth NCAA Tournament in the past six seasons for the Hokies. While Tech head coach Megan Duffy will be logging her first postseason appearance with the Hokies, the seasoned veteran isn’t unfamiliar with the tournament, previously appearing in 2021, 2023 and 2024 while at the helm for Marquette.

Tip time is set for 1:30 pm EST.

🔼 Marchin’ On. The sixth-ranked Virginia Tech wrestling squad officially took the mats at the NCAA Championships on Thursday in Cleveland, Ohio in the opening round of 32.

Eight of the 10 Hokie wrestlers battled to victories and marched on to Friday’s action. Highlighting the action were No. 2 Eddie Ventresca and No. 4 Aaron Seidel, who made their way into the quarterfinals with two victories on Thursday.

Wrestling resumes on Friday, March 20 at 12 p.m. ET with quarterfinal and consolation action live on ESPNU and ESPN+.

🔼 The Friendly Confines. With seven of its 10 wins at English Field this season, the Virginia Tech baseball team is thrilled to be back at the friendly confines this weekend for its first home ACC series of the year.

Duke rolls into town for a three-game set beginning tonight at 6 pm.

Cheer on the Hokies your way with the Virginia Tech baseball 15-ticket flex plan, which is now on sale for the 2026 season. For just $90, enjoy the freedom to attend ACC home games on your schedule.

🔼 All-American Girl. One night in and the Virginia Tech swimming & diving squad is already coming home with accolades.

🔼 Checkin’ In. How’s the first week of spring ball going? How about we just ask the guys themselves?

Can’t wait to watch them in action on Saturday, April 18th at Lane Stadium!
