Virginia Tech women's basketball prepares for 2026-2027 season

Virginia Tech women’s basketball is preparing for the 2026-2027 season following the ACC Tip-Off event in Charlotte. Head coach Megan Duffy is overseeing a significantly revamped roster, as the team returns only six players from the previous year. To fill roster gaps, the program has utilized the transfer portal and a new freshman class, including additions like Alyssa Latham and Lauren Hurst from the University of Tennessee.

Coach Duffy indicated a strategic shift for the upcoming campaign, moving from a defense-heavy identity toward a greater emphasis on offensive play. The Hokies are scheduled to play an exhibition game against Maryland on October 19th to test the new roster before the regular season begins.
