After losing just their second home match of the season Friday night against North Carolina, the Virginia Tech volleyball team rallied Saturday at Cassell Coliseum, defeating North Carolina State three games to one.
Following the N.C. State game, senior Amanda Cloyd sits only 11 digs shy of becoming the first Tech player to ever register 2,000 digs in a career. Cloyd also moved into a tie for tenth place in career aces.
Freshman Felicia Willoughby also had a standout weekend and moved into second place on the school's all-time list for blocks by a freshman.
After a hard-fought loss to the Tar Heels a night earlier, the Hokies bounced back from a loss in the opening game of the match against the Wolfpack to win the next three and improve their record to 11-9 overall with a 5-5 conference mark.
The Hokies now must prepare for a four-game conference road trip, starting with a match at No. 13 Duke University on Friday.Men's Soccer
The No. 8 Virginia Tech men's soccer team set a new school record unbeaten streak Saturday in their 1-1 tie with the University of Maryland. The Hokies are undefeated in their last 11 contests, going 7-0-4 in a span dating back to Sept. 2.
Senior midfielder Georg Zehender capitalized on a cross from junior forward Patrick Nyarko just over 22 minutes into the game for his third goal of the season. Zehender recorded his twelfth point of the season with the goal, which ties him with Nyarko and Robert Edmans for the team lead.
Maryland tied the game in the 64th minute after Jeremy Hall received a cross and snuck it past Tech goalkeeper Markus Aigner, who was making his fifth consecutive start for the Hokies.
