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.
