BLACKSBURG – Virginia Tech lacrosse head coach Kristen Skiera announced the Hokies’ 2026 17-game schedule Friday afternoon. The slate features nine home games at Thompson Field with plenty of familiar foes in addition to some new competitors.
The Hokies will face seven squads that featured in the 2025 D1 Women’s Lacrosse Championship. That group includes Clemson, Virginia, James Madison, Duke, Stanford, Mercer and Syracuse.
Tech’s ACC foes this season also include Louisville, Pitt, Florida State in their first season of competition, Notre Dame and Cal.
Last season Tech finished 9-9 and narrowly missed being included in the NCAA field after a memorable victory over No. 11 Syracuse and an RPI in the 20s.
