Tech's women's lacrosse facilities easily rank in the bottom third of the ACC. Clemson has a top notch facility, FSU's new facility is really nice. UNC, UVA, BC...have quality facilites. Skiera doesn't attack the transfer portal as hard as most of the ACC and top 40 WLAX programs. I have no clue what kind of NIL money Skiera has to work with but I'm guessing it doesn't compare to the Top 30-40 WLAX programs. Recruiting has slightly improved but Skiera has lost her top players to better programs, notably UNC. As for 2026, I agree that Tech likely finishes in the bottom third. FSU and Pitt are on the road,so those games aren't gimmes. Tech opens up at Mercer, a team capable of beating us. A win there would be in the right direction. I pretty much see the same non-conference teams (JMU, Elon, High Point, Mercer, VCU, Queens) on the schedule. At best, I expect a .500 overall record and maybe 2-3 wins in the ACC. As for Skiera, I kind of agree that this may be "A make or break year" for her, but Whit Babcock will keep her as long as she has a 7-9, 8-8, 9-7 type overall record. Babcock personally likes Skiera and realizes he's not funding her program to succeed in the ACC. His focus is on football and men's basketball. The only way I see Skiera getting fired is if she goes 0-8 in conference and has a losing non-conference record. I feel that Skiera will have a slightly better team this spring than she has last season.
