Last year, Mike London and Frank Beamer coached their last games for Virginia and Virginia Tech, respectively.
This year, Bronco Mendenhall and Justin Fuente face-off hoping to bring home their first Commonwealth Cup win. Virginia and Virginia Tech have had very different seasons. The Cavaliers are 2-9, which is the worst record in the ACC. On the other hands, the Hokies are 8-3 and have been ranked for a good portion of the season. That being said, Fuente’s team has had close calls the last four weeks, including dropping a game against Georgia Tech.
Even though morale and enthusiasm for this season has waned, Coach Mendenhall will need to rally his players for this one.
