Hokies reach one milestone this season; approaching two more
- Tech opened its 26th season of women's soccer with a pair of draws against San Diego (8/17) and then-No. 22 Georgetown (8/19). The Sunday match against the Hoyas was the 500th match in school history. In those first 500 games, Tech held a 247-210-43 overall record.
- Sitting at 249 victories all-time, it means Tech is just one win shy of 250 in program history.
- Tech head coach Chugger Adair enters the weekend just three wins shy of 100 in his coaching career, as he currently holds a 97-40-17 all-time mark.
McGlynn notches second clean sheet, continues climb in record book
- This season, the Hokies' goalkeeper Mandy McGlynn has allowed just four goals through 600 minutes played, notching two wins and two shutouts.
- Of note on those four goals surrendered, one of them was a penalty kick ( vs. High Point, 8/26) while another was an own goal (at Alabama).
- With her efforts, McGlynn has been climbing the Tech all-time charts in six different categories, and is currently in the top 5 of all six (see page 5 for current list).
Hokies started 2018 with two draws, add a third last week at Georgia
- In their prior 25 seasons, the Hokies had never opened a campaign with back-to-back ties.
- Tech has already played three overtime matches this season after setting a school record with seven overtime games last year, going 1-1-5. The five ties set a single-season school record.
- The Hokies have already earned a draw in each of their three overtime matches and sit at 0-0-3.
- In its history, the school record for back-to-back draws is two, now done six times, while Tech has played back-to-back overtime matches 13 times.
- The most consecutive overtime games played in a single season is four - from Oct. 9-23, 2016 (Tech went 1-1-2 in those four) and IF you went back to last season, when the Hokies finished the season with back-to-back overtime matches in their last two, the streak also reached four as well (Tech is 0-1-3).
