Hokie ClubThe NCAA announced the game times for the four first-round games of the upcoming Women’s College World Series. Tech will take on fifth-seeded Texas A&M Thursday afternoon at 3 p.m., Eastern Time (2 p.m., local time). The game will be televised nationally on ESPNHD with Eric Collins and Michele Smith on the call. This is the same crew that called Tech’s win over the U.S. National Team in Oklahoma City earlier this year.
Tech will have a quick turnaround for the WCWS, leaving Tuesday for OKC. The Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, as well as the USA Softball National Player of the Year Award will be announced at the Party in the Park Tuesday night as part of the opening ceremonies.
On Wednesday, the team will take part in an hour’s worth of interviews with ESPN, and then have a two-hour practice before a half-hour press conference.
The other two teams in Tech’s half of the bracket are No. 1 Florida and Louisiana-Lafayette.
