The Virginia Tech women's basketball team won its first-ever ACC Tournament title on Sunday, nearly one year after the Hokies' men's hoops squad accomplished the same feat in Brooklyn.

While those championships were impressive firsts for both programs, they also elevated Tech to a status no other ACC team can match.

Coupled with Hokie football's ACC Championship Game victories in 2007, 2008 and 2010, Virginia Tech became the first school in the league to win title games in football, men's basketball and women's basketball.

Tech's women's basketball team knocked off Miami (Fla.) and Duke en route to the championship game as part of the 2023 Ally ACC Women's Basketball Tournament. The third-seeded Hokies pulled away from No. 4 seed Louisville down the stretch to punch their ticket to the NCAA Tournament, while Georgia Amoore was tabbed tournament MVP after draining a tournament-record 14 3-pointers.

The Barclays Center was the site of an incredible four-day run by the Virginia Tech men's basketball squad last March, as the Hokies defeated Clemson, Notre Dame, North Carolina and Duke in consecutive days to win its first ACC tournament championship. Hunter Cattoor earned MVP honors following a 31-point outburst in the title game where he went 7-of-9 from 3-point range.

Virginia Tech football wasted no time climbing to the top of the ACC upon joining the league prior to the 2004 season. The Hokies won conference championship games in two of its first five seasons as a member before claiming a third trophy in 2010. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor twice earned MVP honors (2008 and 2010), standing alone as the only player to achieve that feat until Clemson's Deshaun Watson earned back-to-back MVP awards in 2015 and 2016.

The ACC Football Championship Game debuted for the first time in 2005.

Help Virginia Tech continue to reach for excellence by making a gift to support Hokie student-athletes in their pursuit of even more championship moments.
