NOTES ON THE EAGLES

  • Winthrop (6-5, 3-2 Big South) has won two of its last three, though the Eagles come to Blacksburg following a 1-0 loss to Campbell. Leading the way for Winthrop is Norwegian forward Brigham Larsen with seven goals.

 
NOTES ON THE HOKIES

  • After going seven games unbeaten (6-0-1), the Hokies suffered their first loss since Sept. 11 (@ Duke, 0-1) to Wake Forest on Saturday night. Conor Pugh's third goal in two games was not enough to earn Tech a result, falling 3-1 to the Demon Deacons.
  • Virginia Tech has had success this season after dropping points. Following its loss to Duke in Durham, N.C., the Hokies rebounded with a 2-1 (2OT) win against rivals Virginia. Tech is also 2-1 following draws this season.
  • Despite having characteristics of a striker, including being an aerial threat and having a knack for finishing, Pugh has adopted a role on the wing where his motor never stops running. 
  • The disruptive play style allows for Tech to quickly start counters, which have played a part in Pugh's five goals and two assists this season.
