In John Sung’s first two years as head coach of the Virginia Tech lacrosse team, the program has experienced unprecedented success and the foundation has been built for future growth and national recognition. In 2018, the team made its first NCAA Tournament appearance defeating Georgetown in the First Round 13-10 and advancing to the next stage. The Hokies’ 2018 season featured five wins against ranked teams and 14 wins, a new program record.
For 2019, the future remains bright for the Hokies despite the departure of the winningest senior class in program history. Fifth year student-athletes Mary Claire Byrne and Emma Harden will serve as team captains and lead the charge along with sophomore Paige Petty, a 2018 first team All-ACC honoree.
YOUR support on Drive for 25 Day will help support the following initiatives:
Support staff positions to ensure student-athletes and coaching staff are efficiently and effectively operating to move the program forward
The Lacrosse Excellence Fund, which ensures student-athletes are receiving the best nutrition, strength training, and equipment possible while competing for ACC and national championships
Future memorable student-athlete experiences, including spring break enrichment trips and future travel opportunities
“As we’ve continued to build the foundation of our program, our recent success would not be possible without Hokie Club members supporting our student-athletes. The historic accomplishments we were able to achieve this year sets us up for future success and is all a part of our process in becoming an elite program on the field, in the classroom, and in the community. As we continue to grow, I’m thankful for all those who have joined us and will continue to be a part of the process.”
– John Sung, head coach
