🔼 Back 2 Back. That trophy isn’t going anywhere!

The sixth-ranked Virginia Tech Wrestling squad clinched its second consecutive ACC Team Championship on Sunday, electrifying a record crowd at Cassell Coliseum.

Five different Hokies took home individual championships: Jaden Bullock (184), Sonny Sasso (125), Eddie Ventresca (125), Aaron Seidel (133), and Collin Gaj (149). All ten Hokie wrestlers qualified for the national championship.

🔼 Smiles and Sweeps. The more sweeps, the more smiles as the 11th-ranked Virginia Tech softball kept on rolling, going 5-0 at the annual Hokie Invite to extend its current win streak to 14 games.

The Hokies scored 38 runs in their five games, while the pitching staff allowed just nine earned runs and struck out 36.

🔼 Tourney Time. The regular season is wrapped up. Now, it’s tourney time.

This week, the Virginia Tech men’s hoops squad is set to take on the gauntlet that is the 2026 ACC Men’s Basketball Tournament in Charlotte, N.C.

First up for the Hokies, is a first round date on Tuesday with Wake Forest at 7 pm on the ACC Network. The winner advances to meet fifth-seeded Clemson at 9:30 pm on Wednesday evening.
