Virginia Tech upsets Florida State

After engaging in a scoreless battle with second-seeded Florida State for a 110 full minutes, Virginia Tech prevailed on penalty kicks to score the first upset of the Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Soccer Championship quarterfinal round on Wednesday night.
The seventh-seeded Hokies held a 4-2 edge in PKs - including the clincher by senior Kim Hickey - to advance to Friday's 7:30 p.m. semifinal game against Virginia or Wake Forest. With their performance against the nationally-fifth ranked Seminoles, Virginia Tech (10-7-3) continued to build off the momentum of last Sunday's win over nationally-ranked Duke that closed out the regular season.
