The young team didn’t shy away from any challenges throughout the course of the year, playing against nine top-25 nationally ranked teams throughout the season and many other top-10 teams, including the top-ranked team in the country, Akron. The Hokies finished their season with a 5-12-2 overall record, concluding ACC play with a 2-6 mark, but recording 10 losses by a margin of two goals or less. After dropping their season-opener at UMBC, a program that later moved up to a No. 20 national ranking, Tech traveled to Wisconsin to compete in the Middleton Sports & Fitness Invitational, coming home as the tournament winner. In the opening game, the Hokies battled Wisconsin to a scoreless tie through double-overtime. The Hokies’ offense then came alive in the following game of the weekend tournament, defeating UW-Milwaukee 2-1 behind goals from Charlie Campbell and Koen Oost. Campbell was named the tournament’s offensive MVP, while Oost, Alexander Baden, David Fiorello and Gregory Cochrane garnered All-Tournament team honors. The Hokies then returned home to Thompson Field for the first time in the 2009 season to host the Hilton Garden Hokie Invitational, where they competed against then-No. 11 South Florida and East Tennessee State. The Hokies held the defending Big East Champion Bulls scoreless through the first half of play, but one second-half goal Brendan would be enough for South Florida to squeak by Tech 1-0. The Hokies Dunn came close to scoring opportunities several times, finishing the game with a season-high 19 corner kicks. Tech then took on East Tennessee State for the first time in program history, earning a 1-1 tie in double- overtime as Baden scored the game-tying goal with a minute and 13 seconds left in the game. Tech would then earn its first conference win at Clemson, avenging last year’s 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Tigers. The Hokies used four goals from four different players to earn a 4-2 victory over the Tigers. They then returned to Blacksburg to earn a victory over then- No. 16 NC State, 2-0, marking the first time that the Hokies’ began with a 2-0 record in ACC play since joining the conference in 2004. It also marked the Hokies' first win over a ranked opponent under Brizendine. The Hokies would then go on a season-high five-game losing streak, 2009 RESULTS with losses to four top-ranked teams.
