The Hokies finished 14–6–3 overall and 6–2–2 in ACC play to finish in fifth place. As the fifth seed in the ACC Tournament, they lost to the fourth seed North Carolina in the First Round. They received an at-large invitation to the NCAA Tournament. In the tournament they were selected as the seventh seed in the Duke bracket. They defeated Tennessee in the First Round which earned them a trip to Los Angeles. There they defeated second seed and ninth ranked UCLA in the Second Round, and third seed and seventeenth ranked Iowa in the Round of 16. They traveled back east to face first seed and number one ranked Duke in the Quarterfinals. The Hokies run ended there as they lost to Duke 1–0.
