The Virginia Tech women’s basketball team saw their season come to an end on Sunday afternoon in the second round of the WBIT at home against Texas Tech. The first team left out of the NCAA Tournament, the Hokies finished the season at 19-13 and in reality, in the first year of Megan Duffy’s tenure in Blacksburg, that’s a good season.
Duffy had a small roster to work this season and wasn’t left with much and did the best she could with limited options. Freshman Kayl Petersen and Utah transfer Lani White were the two newcomers who saw a lot of time this year with the returning players that Duffy retained from when Kenny Brooks left.
On Tuesday, the transfer portal opens for women’s basketball, and expect Duffy to be active when it comes to adding players for next season, while also trying to retain her players who grew and had big seasons.
Virginia Tech has several needs for next season and let’s not forget incoming freshmen Katie Sears, Aniya Trent, and Amani Jenkins who have signed in Blacksburg. Losing center Rose Micheaux and shooter Matilda Ekh are going to have to be replaced and if there is one need right off the bat in the portal is a post presence. With that said, here is the Virginia Tech women’s basketball transfer portal tracker for this window.
Virginia Tech players leaving in the portal
Myah Hazelton
Freshman Myah Hazelton committed to Virginia Tech under Kenny Brooks, but stayed after the coaching change, but after limited playing time this year, she's entering the portal.

Another freshman, Ramiya White, was a Kentucky commit but reopened her recruiting after a coaching change, but like Hazelton, saw limited action in Blacksburg.
Lani White
After just one season in Blacksburg, Utah transfer Lani White entered the portal after averaging just under 10 points a game in 2024-25 for the Hokies.
