ATLANTA – Virginia Tech held off former No. 4 South Carolina on Friday night to help keep the Hokies’ stranglehold on the top spot in Week Two of the MCLA Division I New Balance Coaches Poll, which was released Wednesday.

Virginia Tech (5-0) gobbled up 25 of the 26 first-place ballots cast this week, keeping the Hokies over 40 points clear of the field. Tech hosts No. 7 Liberty (2-1) this evening in what could be a preview of the Atlantic Lacrosse Conference (ALC) tournament final.

Georgia Tech (6-0), which was awarded the remaining first-place vote, remains at No. 2 heading into a weekend when they entertain New Hampshire (2-0) and Texas A&M (2-2).

After sweeping a pair of ranked opponents on the road, Chapman (3-0) remains solidly in the third spot followed by Utah Valley (2-0) in fourth.

No. 5 Brigham Young finally opens its 2024 account when it hosts No. 14 Arizona State (3-1) on Saturday in Provo.

Cal Poly (2-3) and Clemson (3-3) were escorted out of the Top 25 this week to make room for No. 21 Tennessee (5-0) and No. 24 Colorado (2-2).
