Hokie ClubHEAD COACH MEGAN DUFFY
A proven winner, Duffy has averaged 22 victories per season as a head coach, boasting an impressive 68.8 winning percentage. She has led her teams to the postseason in eight of her nine seasons at the helm, reaching the NCAA Tournament four times with an appearance in 2026.
In her second season in Blacksburg, the Hokies posted a 23-10 overall record and went 12-6 in ACC play, marking just the fourth time in program history that Virginia Tech reached 12 conference victories in a season. She became the first coach in the ACC era in program history to win double figure conference games in their second season. As the No. 6 seed in the ACC Tournament, the Hokies advanced to the second round with a win over Georgia Tech before earning an NCAA Tournament berth.
The cornerstone of Duffy’s success in her first two seasons at Virginia Tech has been her commitment to player development.
Duffy’s emphasis on player development has been evident in the rise of Carleigh Wenzel, who increased her scoring average from 4.2 points per game in 2023-24 to a team-best 14.0 points per game during her breakout redshirt sophomore campaign in 2024-25. Wenzel continued her ascent in 2025-26, again leading the Hokies with 15.1 points per game while averaging 16.4 points against ACC opponents. Across the last two seasons, she has totaled 11 20-point performances, three double-doubles, and more than 225 assists, earning WBCA Division I Coaches’ All-America honorable mention recognition and All-ACC Second Team honors in 2025-26.
Several players made significant strides in performance throughout the 2024-25 season, highlighted by Matilda Ekh and Rose Micheaux who continued their basketball journeys professionally after graduation.
That development translated into on-court success as the Hokies won 19 games, including defeating previously undefeated and thirteenth-ranked Georgia Tech. Duffy also guided the team to nine ACC wins, the most for a first year Virginia Tech head coach, earning the eight seed at the conference tournament in Greensboro. The season concluded with an appearance in the WBIT.
