Virginia Tech Soccer Finishes with 2-2 Draw Against Clemson

Virginia Tech suffered a disappointing 38-31 overtime loss to Syracuse, despite initially leading 21-3 in the third quarter. The Hokies were without starting quarterback Kyron Drones and star running back Bhayshul Tuten, but backup Collin Schlee performed admirably, passing for 206 yards and a touchdown. The loss diminishes Virginia Tech's hopes for an ACC Championship, as they prepare to host Clemson, who themselves are reeling from a loss to Louisville. In men's soccer, the Hokies drew 2-2 with No. 2 Clemson, taking a 2-0 lead but allowing the Tigers to equalize late in the game. Both performances underline the challenges facing Virginia Tech's athletic teams as they navigate difficult seasons. Coach Mike Brizendine expressed frustration over missed opportunities and the need for better maturity and decision-making from his players.
