Virginia Tech's club team was founded in 1984, and while it was competitive for many years, it wasn't until the team moved to the MACHA that the program truly took a step forward in terms of exposure and recruiting.

"When I first got here, a lot of people around here didn't know there was a hockey team at Virginia Tech," said Morales. "Four years later, I feel like most people know that we have a team, that we're competitive, and that we have been pretty successful."

Hokies Set to Send 6 to Arch Matness

By: pabooth on March 9, 2012, 3:41 PM

'Arch Matness,' as it is being called this year, is wrestling's version of the big dance. 33 wrestlers will vie for All-American status and more importantly the title of National Champion from March 15-17 in St. Louis (Scottrade Center). Virginia Tech will send six wrestlers this year, a drop-off from the seven that they sent to Philadelphia last year. However that's a good number of bids despite the injuries to 157 pound senior Jesse Dong, and senior heavyweight David Marone. Both probably would have earned sports in the tournament pushing the number to eight national qualifiers. But, let's not dwell on what might have been, let's talk 2012 Arch Matness.

More info than you'll ever need to know on the 2012 Virginia Tech Baseball Team

By: ZacHAttach7 on February 28, 2012, 5:49 PM

As basketball season winds down, and before football season starts up, lets focus on HokieBall.  The 2011 Hokie baseball team finished 30-25, 11-19 in ACC play, 5th out of 6 in the Coastal (ahead of Duke) and 9th overall in the ACC.  The Hokies look to improve upon last season, and will do so behind a much more experienced pitching staff.

The 2012 squad is 7-2 with wins over Bradley (2), Kennesaw State, West Virginia, Coastal Carolina, Iowa and High Point.  The 2 losses were to Kennesaw State and George Mason (c'mon guys).  Through the first 9 games the pitching staff has carried the team with a 2.62 ERA.  The bats and gloves need to wake up in order to improve upon last year's record.  Stars Andrew Rash and Ronnie Shaban have returned, and players such as Chad Pinder and Tyler Horan look to be primed for breakout years.

Last year, it was Beamer Co.'s policy not to allow recording devices into the spring game. This year, a complete 180; it'll be streamed all over the world. So what do you guys think? Do you like the decision? Will you opt to stay home and watch the scrimmage, or still head down to the 'Burg for tailgate practice?
