Beating Georgetown for the second time this season, Virginia Tech clinches the ACC Regular Season Title.

Virginia Tech continued their perfect season with a victory on the road against the defending champion Georgetown.  NC State and Duke also picked up victories, dropping G’town from 2nd to 4th. 

This is the final weekend of the regular season.  Duke needs a victory over Tech to hold onto 2nd place.  A loss, with wins from NC State and G’town could dropp the Blue Devils into a tie for 3rd.

Matchups:

Duke picked up a win and NC State picked up 3 points in two games this weekend tightening the standings. Georgetown and Duke are now tied for second with NC State one point behind.

There are seven ACC League games left, with Georgetown and Tech playing a rematch of their Nov. 22 game.  Tech won that matchup 6-2 in Roanoke and now has to travel to DC to face the Hoyas at home.
