Va. Tech’s Smith Earns Warrior Accolades

Va. Tech’s Smith Earns Warrior Accolades

February 28th, 2023 General News | Arizona State | Clemson | Concordia | Florida | Georgia | Liberty | Simon Fraser | Utah Valley | Virginia Tech | Washington | West Virginia

ATLANTA – The Virginia Tech juggernaut rolled to two more ranked wins thanks to Hokies junior attackman Aidan Smith, who was named the MCLA Division I Warrior Player of the Week for the period ending Feb. 26.

Virginia Tech opened the weekend against No. 19 Colorado State and thanks to four goals and a dime from the Potomac Falls, Va., product, the Hokies rolled to the 18-6 triumph.

The next day, Tech entertained No. 18 Colorado in Blacksburg and again Smith delivered. He potted six goals as the Hokies rolled to a 16-6 triumph.

For the weekend, Smith amassed 10 goals and a helper.

“Aidan does a terrific job controlling our pace and quarterbacking the offense,” said Virginia Tech coach Panchito Ojeda. “When he is not scoring, he is distributing the ball and creating opportunities for his teammates.

“He is a team-first, culture-first type of guy and fits our program very well.”

For his efforts earning the Warrior Player of the Week, Smith will receive a Warrior EVO QX-O – a $100 value – for his efforts. Warrior is a proud sponsor of the MCLA.
