It was a record Sunday night at Cassell Coliseum.
Virginia Tech set a record for fans at the ACC Wrestling Championships with 4,692 fans in attendance, and they witnessed the Hokies continue to dominate the conference. After winning the regular season title, Virginia Tech rolled to the ACC Tournament Championship with 106 points, running away and hiding from Stanford, which finished in second with 84. It's the second straight ACC Tournament championship for Tony Robie and his team.
It was another dominating performance from Virginia Tech, which is sending 10 wrestlers to the NCAA Championships in Cleveland, Ohio, from March 19-21. They join Penn State, Ohio State, and Oklahoma State in sending 10 wrestlers. This is the third time in four seasons that all 10 Hokies' wrestlers qualify for the NCAA Championships.
