Hokie ClubVirginia Tech cracked the top 25 of the final Golf World/Nike Golf Division I Coaches’ Poll of the fall season. Compiled by Golf World magazine, Nike Golf and the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA), the poll is the final rankings until the start of the spring season. The Hokies, who had not received a vote in any of the three previous polls of the fall, are tied with Tennessee for 23rd in the rankings. Tech is one of seven ACC teams in the poll, by far the most teams of any single conference.
The Hokies entered the poll following victories in the team’s final two events of the fall schedule, the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate at the Ridges and the Landfall Tradition. In the other national polls, the Hokies are 32nd in the Golfweek/Sagarin poll and 23rd in the Golfstat.com NCAA Head-to-Head standings. Tech, No. 22 Indiana and No. 25 North Carolina entered the poll this week.
Virginia Tech will return to action in the spring Feb. 29 – March 2 at the Puerto Rico Classic.
