In 2025, Virginia Tech went 7-4-5 (2-3-3), beating No. 3 Ohio State 1-0 in its season opener. The Hokies tied then-No. 2 Marshall, 2-2, eight days later, though they tied the two games thereafter and lost to Boston College. That dropped the Hokies out of the top-25, and their season eventually ended in the first round of the ACC Tournament with a tightly-contested 2-1 loss to Syracuse on the road.

The Hokies are set to play against eight 2025 NCAA Tournament teams, including two that made the College Cup (equivalent of Final Four) in NC State and Furman.

Last year, Virginia Tech women's soccer ended the season with a 4-10-4 (0-8-2) record, failing to claim a victory in ACC play. The Hokies won their first three games of the season, but they did not win again after Aug. 31, 2025. Last season was the first in program history that the Hokies finished the season without an ACC win.

The Hokies will play against nine 2025 NCAA Tournament teams, including defending national champs Florida State.
