The Hokies are 11-4, matching the program record for most wins in a season, which the Hokies also reached a season ago. The four ACC wins is a program best, doubling last season’s mark of two.

On Saturday afternoon, Tech overcame a 4-goal deficit in the final 10 minutes of the second half, with Taylor Caskey’s goal with 89 seconds remaining sending the game into overtime.

After a scoreless six-minute overtime session, Tech won the draw control to start the second extra period and got the ball in the stick of Julia Bolte. The attacker found Tristan McGinley in the middle who fired home the game-winner.
