BLACKSBURG – After scrimmaging all fall season, Virginia Tech softball has released its spring schedule featuring both non-conference and conference opponents.
The Hokies are slated to play 49 games this season, 21 in Blacksburg, including four ACC home weekends.
New to the schedule, Tech will participate in an ACC “pod” the second weekend of the season. The Hokies will first travel to Clemson to play a three-game set against the Tigers Feb. 18 and 19, then head down to Georgia for three games vs. Florida State in Atlanta Feb. 20-21.
Tech opens the 2021 season Feb. 13 at Kennesaw State for a weekend series with the Owls. After the pod weekend, the Hokies open their home slate with ACC foe Boston College March 5-7.
The Hokies’ home conference opponents for the 2021 season are Boston College, Pitt, Georgia Tech and Notre Dame. After the pod, Tech will travel to NC State, Louisville, Duke and Syracuse.
The Commonwealth Clash presented by Virginia529 will be a two-game, home-and-home series with rival Virginia. The Hokies travel to Charlottesville March 9, and the Cavaliers will come to Blacksburg on March 24.
Virginia was the only ACC opponent Tech played last season before the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled the season. The Hokies won the clash for the fifth straight season, sweeping the Cavaliers in the three-game series.
