Other VT Sports - Fall 2018

I'll fill this in tomorrow with how all the non-football fall sports are doing, but for now I wanted to say that the VT Women's Soccer team upset #6 UVA 1-0, and we now lead the Commonwealth 2.0-0.5

Go Hokies!

10/1 Edit: Well, "tomorrow" has come and gone 3 times since I posted, but now I have a moment to update some of the fall sports:

Men's Soccer

The Men's Soccer team had a decent start after being unranked in the preseason, as they won their first 3 games by a combined 3 goals before earning the #17 spot prior to a 2-2 draw against UCF. The draw dropped us to #21 leading up to the UVA game, where the score was 1-1 in the second minute and the final score was... 1-1. Since then, we beat UNCG, lost 2-1 to #1 Wake Forest off of 2 2nd-half goals by the Deacons, beat Longwood 5-1, lost to #18 NC State 1-0, and beat Syracuse 1-0.

The team is currently #21 at 6-2-2 overall, 1-2-1 in the ACC, with upcoming games against South Carolina tomorrow and #3 UNC on Saturday.

Women's Soccer

The Women's Soccer team had a largely uninspiring non-conference run, starting with draws against both San Diego and #22 Georgetown in the season-opening Virginia Tech Tournament and continuing with 4 wins over outmatched foes, a 1-1 draw with Georgia, and a 1-0 loss to Alabama. They've been up and down in conference play, starting with a 3-0 loss to #7 FSU and a 2-0 win over 4-6-2 Miami before upsetting #6 UVA 1-0 off a 14th minute goal. They followed that upset with a 2-0 win over 4-6-1 Pitt.

The team has yet to sniff the rankings, but that may change when they update this week. The team is currently 7-2-3, 3-1 in the ACC, with upcoming games against #11 BC on Thursday and #15 Duke on Sunday.

Women's Volleyball

I will admit that I don't know a whole lot about volleyball, so this'll be brief. As of right now, the Hokies are 11-5, 2-2 in the ACC, and haven't been ranked at all this season. They've lost both their games against ranked competition, #18 Baylor and #9 Pitt, with the rest of their losses coming to Samford, UTSA, and NC State.

They have upcoming matches against GT on Friday and Clemson on Sunday.

Hey! It goes beyond big brother in the sky
Beyond the threat of martial law, No Horus eye
No one came to cuff you they just handed you the chain
Blind follows the blind and now the one-eyed man is king
