ROANOKE, Va. – Virginia Tech remains unbeaten in the NCAA DI Softball Tournament after a 11-3 win over BYU. The win crowned the Hokies as the Tempe Regional champs and earned them a spot in the Super Regionals for the first time since 2008.
“I came to Blacksburg to win and to win at this level,” said Virginia Tech head coach Pete D’Amour. “So it’s nice, I’m really speechless about it. I thought we could do it if we had Keely, good offense, good defense, good team chemistry.”
