BLACKSBURG – For the second straight game, Virginia Tech women’s basketball rolled, capturing a 101-53 victory over Delaware Tuesday evening at Cassell Coliseum. Here are my three immediate takeaways from the Hokies’ 48-point win.
No. 1: Regardless of the caliber of opponent, Virginia Tech’s cohesion on both ends of the floor was impressive.
For reference, Delaware entered the contest ranked No. 247 in BartTorvik’s metrics. Virginia Tech was No. 42. Despite the talent disparity, the Hokies’ defense should be commended. The Blue Hens shot just 16-for-56 (28.6%) from the field, including a 3-for-12 (25.0%) mark from long range. Virginia Tech also recorded 12 blocks, finishing just two shy of the program record.

Virginia Tech’s 101 points marked the 19th time in program history that the Hokies have surpassed triple digits. It’s the most points Virginia Tech has scored since Jan. 9, 2025, when it beat then-No. 13 Georgia Tech 105-94 in double overtime in Atlanta.
Four Hokies scored in double figures, paced by forward Jessica Dimaro’s 19-point, seven-rebound outing. Seventeen of Dimaro’s points came in the first half. Wenzel added 18 points, while guard Samyha Suffren and forward Amani Jenkins contributed 16 and 10, respectively.
No. 2: Virginia Tech’s ball security was impressive.
