The Virginia Tech Hokies used a strong second half to pull away from the Virginia Cavaliers for a 76-64 win in ACC women's basketball action on Sunday afternoon at Cassell Coliseum. The Hokies improved to 18-5 overall and 8-3 in conference play, while the Cavaliers fell to 15-7 and 7-4 in the ACC.
Why it matters
The win keeps Virginia Tech in the mix as one of the top teams in the ACC, as they are now just one of three conference teams with 18 wins this season. The loss drops Virginia back in the standings, making their path to an NCAA Tournament bid more challenging.
The details
The Hokies responded to Virginia's opening basket with a 10-2 run, but the Cavaliers answered with eight straight points to take a 12-10 lead after the first quarter. Virginia Tech found its rhythm in the second period, tying the game at 20 and then taking a 30-28 lead into halftime. The Hokies created separation in the third quarter, going on a 12-0 run to take a 55-50 advantage. Virginia Tech then pulled away in the fourth quarter, capitalizing on aggressive drives and second-chance opportunities to seal the 76-64 victory.
- The game was played on Sunday, February 2, 2026.

What they’re saying
“This was a big conference win for us, and I'm proud of the way our team responded in the second half to pull away.”

What’s next
The Hokies will look to continue their winning streak when they host NC State on Thursday, February 6. The Cavaliers will try to bounce back when they travel to face Miami on Sunday, February 9.
The takeaway
Virginia Tech's victory over their in-state rival Virginia showcases their status as one of the top teams in the ACC, as they continue to build momentum towards a potential NCAA Tournament berth. The loss for Virginia, meanwhile, makes their path to the Big Dance more challenging as they look to regroup in the second half of the conference schedule.
