Hokie ClubThe 11th-ranked Virginia Tech women's basketball team (21-4, 11-4) returns home to Carilion Clinic Court at Cassell Coliseum for a matchup with NC State (18-8, 8-7). The game is the second in the series this season, Hokies won a 73-61 contest in Raleigh last week. It was the Hokies' first ever win at NC State. Tech has never swept the Wolfpack.

It is the first time in program history that the Hokies have won three consecutive games against ranked opposition.
