After rolling to a win over Gardner-Webb on Thursday night, the Virginia Tech women's basketball team will have a quick turnaround with an afternoon home game against Coastal Carolina Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Megan Duffy's team is 3-0 early in the season and will look to make it a fourth straight win against Coastal. In the 36-point win over Gardner-Webb, they had five players finish in double figures. Samyha Suffren led the Hokies with 17 points off the bench, while Northwestern transfer Mel Daley had 14 points, Texas Tech transfer Kilah Freelon and Carliegh Wenzel each had 12, and Carys Baker added 10.
Could Tyrod Taylor return under center for the Jets?
After the New York Jets lost to the New England Patriots, 27-14, on Thursday night, it was another underwhelming performance for Jets QB Justin Fields. Brought in over the offseason, Fields has not been good for New York this year.
On Friday, head coach Aaron Glenn said that during the extra time off after playing on Thursday night, they are going to consider switching to former Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor when the Jets visit the Baltimore Ravens on Nov. 23. At 2-8 after the loss to New England, New York has nothing to lose in making the switch for the final seven games.
Volleyball outlasts Duke
The Hokies volleyball team picked up its third ACC win of the season with a 3-2 victory over Duke on the road. Virginia Tech won the fifth and deciding game, 16-4, to improve to 11-15 overall and 3-12 in the ACC. Duke fell to 5-21 overall and 2-13 in conference play.
Elizabeth Aylward led Virginia Tech with 15 kills, 11 assists, and four blocks. Isabella Mishler had six blocks and 11 kills for the Hokies, who visit North Carolina on Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock.
