Virginia Tech Secures No. 4 Seed as ACC Softball Tournament Bracket Is Locked In — All Eyes Now on Boston
The field is officially set for the 2025 ACC Softball Tournament, and while one regular-season game remains, all seeding is finalized ahead of Wednesday’s first pitch in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. For teams still fighting for a ticket to the NCAA Tournament, this single-elimination showdown is make-or-break. For Virginia Tech, it’s about something just as critical — maximizing their national seeding potential.
The Hokies entered the final weekend with a shot at claiming the ACC regular season title, but those hopes were dashed by powerhouse Florida State. The ninth-ranked Seminoles dominated the first two games of the series in Blacksburg, clinching the conference crown before the finale even began. Despite the setback, Virginia Tech will enter the ACC Tournament as the No. 4 seed, setting them up for a Thursday night quarterfinal matchup.

But with unpredictable Boston weather looming and a stacked bracket full of hungry contenders, the road to the championship won’t be easy.
