Virginia Tech Softball's Winning Streak Snapped In Loss To Pitt

1 week ago | virginiatech.sportswar.com | Sam Mostow

No. 11 Virginia Tech softball has grown accustomed to winning, just by nature of how the last month-plus has gone. At various points through the last 39 days, eight different teams tried and failed to score more runs than the Hokies, to no avail. However, Pitt figured out how to sneak past them for a 7-6 win in nine innings on Thursday. It marked Tech’s first loss since March 9 — snapping a 17-game winning streak. “We fought,” Virginia Tech right fielder Cori McMillan told Tech Sideline.

Virginia Tech softball will look to elongate its 17-game winning streak this week during its road trip to Pittsburgh. The Hokies (36-5, 14-1 ACC) sit No. 10 in the NFCA rankings, No. 11 in ESPN/USA Softball, No. 12 in D1Softball and No. 13 in Softball America.

Projecting Virginia Tech's Depth Chart Coming Out Of Spring Ball

1 week ago | virginiatech.sportswar.com | Andy Bitter

Secretive as it might have been over the last month, Virginia Tech reluctantly had to face reality when it put on a spring game and lined up 11 players on both sides of the ball to function in an actual football competition over the weekend. It gives us at least an idea of not only what the Hokies’ base look will be under these new schemes, but also information to make some best guesses about what a depth chart might look like come fall.
Emma Lemley Drafted To Athletes Unlimited After Hokies Softball Wins 17th Straight

1 week ago | virginiatech.sportswar.com | Sam Mostow

Nobody knew Athletes Unlimited would announce it would draft Virginia Tech pitcher Emma Lemley after the Hokies’ 15-1 run-rule win over Notre Dame on Sunday night. Well, that’s not entirely true. Members of Tech’s support staff did. Head coach Pete D’Amour did. And pitcher Cassie Grizzard did — and was tasked with ensuring Lemley was visible to cameras. But Lemley, most of the players and the fans at Tech Softball Park had no idea.
Five Thoughts The Day After Virginia Tech's Spring Game

1 week ago | virginiatech.sportswar.com | Andy Bitter

Spring is over, with a vanilla scrimmage in Lane Stadium on Saturday concluding a phase of the offseason that Virginia Tech kept mostly under wraps. Consider this: With Kyron Drones and Pop Watson not playing in the spring game, nobody outside of the Hokies’ coaches and a few privileged practice guests saw QB1 or QB2 take a snap in an 11-on-11 setup over the last month. Talk about secrecy.

1 week ago | virginiatech.sportswar.com | Sam Mostow

No team in the country has currently won more games in a row than Virginia Tech softball. No team in the country has tossed more shutouts, either. The No. 12 Hokies (35-5, 13-1 ACC) handled Notre Dame in both games of a doubleheader at Tech Softball Park on Saturday — 5-0 and 12-4 (in five innings) — to clinch their fifth ACC series win of 2025. In the process, they earned their 16th consecutive victory and 18th shutout of the season.
Bitter: It Was BTA For Defense In Dominant Spring Game, But Hokies' Turnaround Is Still TBD

1 week ago | virginiatech.sportswar.com | Andy Bitter

The offense-versus-defense format in the Hokies’ spring game Saturday offered some unit pride to bubble over, with outwardly mild-mannered defensive coordinator Sam Siefkes delivering a message to his group before they took the Lane Stadium field. Defensive end James Djonkam cleaned things up for the media afterward, relaying it via an acronym: BTA. “If you know what that means, you know what that means,” Djonkam said. “And if you don’t, then don’t look it up. “We really took that to heart.

With A Clear, Calm Mind, Cam Seldon Aims To Be Play-Maker For Virginia Tech

Cam Seldon starts every morning the same way. The Virginia Tech wide receiver organizes his room in a specific manner, sits in a fixed position with music playing in the background and meditates, focusing on breathing and being in the moment. “It relaxes me, calms my mind, slows my mind down,” he said. “So when I’m on the field, everything’s happening fast, I’m just relaxed.
