HOKIES
Virginia Tech (5-6-2, 1-4 ACC) was able to capitalize off having a full-strength squad for the first time this spring last weekend in its 1-0 victory against No.15 North Carolina (6-4-3, 3-1-1). Senior Kristo Strickler's 52nd-minute game-winning strike earned him ACC Offensive Player of the Week honors. Redshirt sophomore Nathan Durst provided the assist and helped steady the back line in its first clean sheet in ACC play of the spring, in route to earning ACC Defensive Player of the Week Honors.
FIGHTING IRISH
Notre Dame (8-8, 1-4) is coming off a 2-0 defeat to now top-ranked Pitt (12-2, 4-1). Up top, Jack Lynn leads the way for the Fighting Irish with eight goals, while averaging 2.8 shots per game. Goalkeeper Keagan McLaughlin is also second in the ACC with shutouts, recording five this season.
The last time the two sides faced off was November 2 when a Jacob Labovitz second-half strike was enough to secure the 1-0 win for the Hokies.
