BLACKSBURG, Va. – The Virginia Tech women’s basketball team defeated the No. 16/17 ranked Tennessee Lady Vols on Sunday afternoon to remain undefeated on the season. It marked the program’s first victory over a ranked team since the Tennessee matchup last season and gives the program its best start since the 2005-06 season.
“Tremendous win for our program and particularly these kids,” said head coach Kenny Brooks. “Yes, it’s Tennessee and obviously they’re a very storied program and so much history behind what they do, but it was important to us because we’ve asked these kids to sacrifice, to buy-in and now they are starting to see some of the fruits of their labor.
