OK, enough about last week and the polls

The Hokies are heading to Auburn in three days and there are three opponents waiting that there that could steal a win or two. I'm working on my preview and noticed that all three are ranked in the Top 16 in the country in batting average and in the Top 26 in average runs scored per game. All three have numbers above VT although quality of competition is certainly a factor. Two of the teams are in the Top10 in slugging percentage. Troy is third in the country in steals per game. Just last year, Troy surprised Wisconsin (6-2) and USC Upstate took Georgia to nine innings before losing 3-2. The ladies have to show up ready to play. No doubt they will. Let's Go Hokies!!!

Auburn has proven they will definitely steal a win if given the opportunity**

There's only one set of stats that matters for a softball game at Auburn.

Need to throw strikes to Troy and don’t give up walks.**

I believe this weekend will determine if VT is real or Memorex: (4-1)

They just need to stay real **
TomTurkey 02/24/26 06:24 PM ET
Let’s just sweep Auburn too.**
BEST2VT 02/24/26 05:17 PM ET
We'll be ready! Have to believe it.**

Troy and USC-Upstate have played ALL their games at home so far this year.

Sure would like to see Kylie catch versus Troy
Hockeydad 02/24/26 02:12 PM ET
I want to see Kylie catching for Emma each time Mazz is out there.**
KiloZulu 02/24/26 06:48 PM ET
I'd like your take as to why. Mazz is tough to frame. Is that the reason?**
Joe Hokie 02/24/26 09:42 PM ET
More length and athleticism to get the pitches out of the zone.
KiloZulu 02/25/26 08:06 AM ET
This situation has been sort-of a head-scratcher. **
MidloHokie 02/24/26 06:18 PM ET
Why? **
texashokie1 02/24/26 05:20 PM ET
It seems to me Kylie is better defensively
Hockeydad 02/26/26 07:43 PM ET
I tend to agree.
RJHokie 02/26/26 07:47 PM ET
I assume Auburn will be the odds favorites.**
Atlee Hokie 02/24/26 01:47 PM ET
Actually, Massey has VT as a 53% favorite
VTChip 02/24/26 01:51 PM ET
True, but at Auburn they are played according to the weather forecast….**

Let's make reality 100% - Go Hokies**
