Off to a good start with 1st place in the Summer Blitz, this should be a great year for the Hokies!
1998 - 1999
With the high level of competition in this season's Kick-Off Tourney, placing above our seeded position is nothing to be ashamed of. VT took 6th place out of 9 teams. Tech's Brian Salomon won top Board 2 with a score of 2.5/3. In league play we showed how clearly misplaced we were in the D conference, beating all competition. Brendan Cleary played top Board 1 out of the entire league, and David O'Brien was best Board 3 in the end-all tourney, which VT placed third in.
VT lost its first scored match to Illinois (B) on March 1st. Our non-conference games are complete, with a score of 1.5.
