Tech just finished a seven-game homestand on Wednesday with a shutout win against the No.24 Liberty Flames, who were the Hokies' fourth and final ranked contest of the series---Completing a top-20 series sweep versus the No.16 Stanford Cardinal in the contest before the Flames.

The Wolfpack enters the set on an opposite path as Tech, sitting on a four-game losing streak. Three of those games, however, were suffered at the hands of top 10-ranked Florida State. Who is a formidable foe for anybody program to face.

Leftwich joins the Wolfpack squad after spending a decade as an assistant coach at the powerhouse SEC program LSU, which they had success throughout the last decade.
