Zach Neibert recorded a pin in less than four minutes at 141 pounds to lead No. 23 Virginia Tech to a 22-12 victory over No. 25 Old Dominion in a wrestling meet Sunday.
Neibert, ranked 19th in the country, earned the fall in 3:46 over ODU's Taylor Moeder to give the Hokies a 10-0 lead.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — The Virginia Tech men’s basketball team ended a dreadful January with a 73-69 loss to Maryland at the Comcast Center on Saturday.
The Hokies (12-9, 1-5 ACC) finished the month 1-6 and are now tied for last place in the ACC with Georgia Tech, which could claim sole possession of the cellar again tonight with a loss at North Carolina.
Virginia Tech’s 70-68 loss to Brigham Young on Wednesday exposed a consistent shortcoming in Seth Greenberg’s program and the primary reason his Hokies have earned only one NCAA tournament bid:
Virginia Tech men’s basketball coach Seth Greenberg could see the frustration in Dorenzo Hudson’s eyes. Hudson, a 6-foot-5 senior guard who won third-team All-ACC honors two years ago, was struggling, and so was his team.
So before the Hokies took on No. 7 North Carolina last Thursday, Greenberg suggested Hudson take a different role with the team. He proposed bringing Hudson off the bench. There would be less pressure, and the game could come to him.

Dorenzo Hudson just may be enjoying his new role as a reserve for Virginia Tech.
Hudson scored 12 points, including six over the final 2:12, and helped the Hokies to a 47-45 victory against No. 15 Virginia on Sunday night.
In a game in which both teams went all-in on defense, it was Virginia Tech's Dorenzo Hudson who bucked the trend, hitting a 3-point shot to lift the Hokies to a 47-45 victory, their first in ACC play.
CHARLOTTESVILLE - Did you hear the one about the Virginia Tech basketball player who threw a pass and hit an unsuspecting teammate, Dorenzo Hudson, in the face, causing a turnover, only to have the opposing team, the University of Virginia, immediately commit a turnover, leading to an easy basket for the Hokies and an eventual victory?
As the game clock ticked inside four minutes Sunday night, Virginia Tech trailed Virginia by three. This had to make Hokies faithful Da Vinci's Cradle squeamish.
