The Virginia Tech Hokies men's soccer team is a college soccer program that competes in NCAA Division I and the Coastal Division of Atlantic Coast Conference. Their home games are played at Virginia Tech Lacrosse and Soccer Stadium.
The team has improved greatly since the arrival of Oliver Weiss, the current head coach of the team since 2000. Under Weiss, Tech has made four appearances in the NCAA Tournament (second round in 2003, 2005, first round in 2006, and the semifinals in 2007), the only four in school history. The team is currently ranked 4th in the nation under the Division I NSCAA/adidas National Rankings (last updated Tuesday, November 6th, 2007). In the 2007 season, the team achieved its highest national ranking in school history when they reached #4 on October 23rd. The previous highest ranking was in the 2005 season at 8th in the country. Also, Tech set a new school record with a 15 game unbeaten streak (10-0-5 from Sep. 2 to Nov. 3) during the 2007 season. The popularity for the team and game attendance has increased since the invite to the Atlantic Coast Conference and with the recent 2006 FIFA World Cup.
