Nov. 26 - vs. Minnesota, St. Mary's or Quinnipiac in Concord Hilton Thanksgiving Classic (St. Mary's)
- A good field for the rebuilding Hokies. Plus, speaking as someone who used to live in those parts, Moraga, Calif. is beautiful this time of year.

Dec. 29 - vs. High Point (16-15, Big South) or UMBC (20-12, America East) in Virginia Tech Tournament.
VIRGINIA
Nov. 5 - vs. Alaska Anchorage (exhibition)
- Sure is a long way to travel for a practice game. Will be interested to hear the story behind this one.
Nov. 11 - vs. Appalachian State (25-7, Southern Conference)
- Season opener will feature the college debut of Appalachian State's Maryah Sydnor, who scored 2,041 points in high school and led Radford High to the 2011 VHSL Group A Division II state title. Sydnor had signed with Longwood but was granted a release after the Lancers changed head coaches.

LIBERTY
Nov. 25 - vs. Oklahoma (23-12, Big 12) in Vanderbilt Tournament
- Vanderbilt and Lipscomb square off in the other game. Interestingly, Oklahoma's schedule already lists Vanderbilt as its second-day opponent. We understand why they'd make that assumption, but it's a little cheeky to put it in print.

HAMPTON
Nov. 12 - at Pitt (14-17, Big East)
- Panthers coach Agnus Berenato says she has the youngest team in Division I. We're not sure how she can say that yet, but it certainly has to be one of the youngest - the squad has no seniors or juniors.
