For the first time this academic year, Head Coach Kenny Brooks' whistle could be heard echoing on the practice court at Hahn Hurst for an official team practice. The Hokies began preparation for their season opener on Carilion Clinic Court at Cassell Coliseum on Monday, November 7 at 5 p.m. against Mount St. Mary's.
The Hokies enter the season ranked 11th in ESPN's Way-Too-Early Top 25 following a historic season that saw several program records fall. For the first time, a Hokie was named ACC Player of the Year, an honor that center Elizabeth Kitleycollected, in addition to being named Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Third Team All-America. Tech also won a program-best 13 ACC games, beat five ranked opponents and swept rivals Virginia and Duke.
Tech's lineup will feature eight returning student-athletes and the squad has been bolstered with the addition of All-American Ashley Owusu Maryland, All-ACC talent Taylor Soule and former Boston College teammate Clara Ford, in addition to a talented freshman class.
