NCAA Tournament |
For their eighth-straight postseason appearance, the Hokies stayed close
to home and bused four hours Friday evening to participate in the NCAA
Tournament at the University of Maryland.

At an NCAA press conference, Tech's lone senior Erin Gibson spoke about
coming out strong against DePaul and making a good showing in the
NCAA Tournament.

Former U.S. Olympic and current WNBA coach Van Chancellor gave the
Hokies a brief pep talk before their practice Saturday afternoon in
preparation of the matchup with the 25-4 Blue Demons.
|
12th-seeded Tech looked sharp during drills, as they prepared to face
16th-ranked Depaul, the 5th seed in the Chatanooga Region.
|
Coach Beth Dunkenberger had the well-rested Hokies loose as the
prepared for their first game in over two weeks, looking to build on their
17-11 record.

Tickets are still available for Tech's game at the ComCast Center in
College Park, Maryland, Sunday night at 7 p.m.
