Template:Infobox College Softball Team
The Virginia Tech Hokies softball team is a college softball program that competes in NCAA Division I and the Coastal Division of Atlantic Coast Conference. Their home games are played at the Virginia Tech Softball Stadium. The team appeared in the NCAA Tournament in four successive seasons (2005 - 2008), were conference champions in 2007 and 2008, and advanced to the Women's College World Series in 2008.[1] A big part of this success was the pitching of Angela Tincher, who had a historic career at Virginia Tech, becoming only the third person in NCAA Softball to record 2,000 career strikeouts. The Hokies also did what no other college has ever done, beating the U.S. Olympic Softball Team in a victory that ended Team USA's 12 year, 185 game winning streak. The Hokies won this game by a score of 1-0 and Tincher pitched a no hitter, and also allowing no balls to reach the outfield.[2]
