HOW IT HAPPENED
Set 1
The Eagles opened up with a 3-0 lead, but the Hokies answered right away with six straight points of their own to lead 6-4. The Hokies tacked on a few more to extend their lead to 12-7, forcing a BC timeout. The Maroon and Gold won three straight after the break, but Virginia Tech countered to re-extend its lead to 14-10. The Eagles did not give up and used a Balido kill to level the score at 17, forcing a Hokie timeout. Virginia Tech embarked on a 4-1 run after the timeout to retake the lead on an ace, 21-18, forcing the Eagles to call their second timeout. BC couldn't cut into the lead, and the Hokies won the set, 25-21.
Set 2
The teams opened the set level, as neither team led by more than two points in the early going. The Eagles saw a 4-0 run halted after taking 12-10 lead, and the Hokies drew even again at 12 all. After Virginia Tech pulled slightly ahead at 14-13, the Eagles called their first timeout. The teams kept exchanging points until the Hokies pulled away with a 7-1 run, giving them a 24-18 lead. BC fended off three set points, but the Hokies hung on to win 25-21.
Set 3
BC led 2-1, but the Hokies responded with five straight points to lead 6-2. The Eagles clawed their way back to draw even at 7 following a McKenna Goss kill. The teams went back and forth for a few points until Virginia Tech regrouped to take the lead at 12-9 following four straight points. Later, another run of 7-0 gave the Hokies a 20-11 lead. The Eagles couldn't overcome an 8 point deficit, and dropped the set 25-20.
UP NEXT
The Eagles will close out the home portion of their 2016 campaign on Sunday when they square off against Pittsburgh. Seniors Madisen Lydon, Anna Skold, Julia Topor, and Barbara Gonzalez will be honored.
