Lady Hokies advance to face #2 UCLA in their region. They will be playing at 10pm EST on Friday, Nov 22nd on ESPN+.
Hokies are now 12-5-3 on the season. Hokies are #12 in latest poll.
UCLA is now 17-3-3 this season and were #9 in last poll.
One seeding note for the tournament I noted looking at this, Virginia was ranked #26 in last poll but somehow were gifted a 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Hokies are a 7 seed. Doesn't really make sense.
Tune in late Friday night to cheer on the Ladies.

Let's Go!
Hokies!
They ladies have had a few big upsets this year. Time to go get another one!
0-0 at half
Don't have stats but just from my eye:
Hokies have been content with possession over position. Lot's of passing backwards and not too aggressive
UCLA been getting away with a lot of contact. Refs swallowing a decent amount of whistles but still like 7-2 fouls against the hokies. Lots of pushing from behind by the bruins that aren't getting called
Believe UCLA has outshot us by a decent margin, but nothing super threatening. Hokies had the only real major threat on goal of the whole half.
Think they need to be a bit more aggressive near the bruins goal if they want to take it. Easily could be first goal takes this
GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLL Hokies!!!!!
Ladies pulled off the upset 2-1
They will face 3 seed Iowa 9pm EST on Sunday in the Sweet Sixteen*** Broadcaster last night said Elite Eight.
SWEET!!!!
FAM!!!!!!!!
Let's go get another one!
Had part of out Lot 18 contingent at the pitch today in the stands but, they don't know enough about soccer to comment on the quality of play.
Just that it was a god time.
God time?, (sorry, I couldn't resist) I'll admit to not caring for the game, but if it's the Hokies, I'm in. I've had more than one soccer fan tell me that I just don't know enough about the game to appreciate it, but as soon as their kid is older and they no longer have to go to the games, their interest in soccer seems to evaporate. Sorry, but the game bores me more than a 1-0 fourteen inning baseball game, but I'm very happy to see the ladies doing so well and if I can get the game on tv I'll be watching and cheering for the one or two scores and stops at the goal.
Now cue the calls for my head from the footie contingent...
Looks like it....
Nice win by the ladies! Let's Go!
This. This is the good news we have needed. Way to go Hokies!
Allright Ladies! Let's go get that elusive NC!
