The Mountaineers are 12-9 all-time against Virginia Tech but have lost their last three meetings with the Hokies. West Virginia’s last win over Virginia Tech was a 39-13 victory in 2004.

Brandon Ngati, 2-1 (TB-2) SHORT TIME - WEST VIRGINIA West Virginia is led by first-year head coach Tim Flynn, who spent last 21 years as the head coach at Edinboro. Before assuming head coaching duties, Flynn was an assistant at Edinboro where he coached Tech head coach Tony Robie, who was a two-time All-American for the Fighting Scots and was an NCAA finalist in 1997. The Mountaineers have two Virginia natives on their roster in freshman Trey Anderson (Virginia Beach, Kellam High School) and redshirt junior JD Gregory (Hanover, Hanover High School). West Virginia is 1-3 on the season with a 22-14 win over Northern Colorado on Nov. 1 SHORT TIME - VIRGINIA TECH The Hokies have six wrestlers ranked by Intermat this week – No. 16 Korbin Myers (133), No. 8 Mekhi Lewis (165), No. 5 David McFadden (174), No. 8 Zack Zavatsky (184), No. 17 Tom Sleigh (197) and No. 7 Billy Miller (285). After some mild shakeups across the country over the weekend, McFadden entered in at No. 20 in FloWrestling’s pound-for-pound rankings. McFadden has lost only four matches over the last two and a half seasons. Robie served as an assistant coach under Flynn at Edinboro for the 1999-00 campaign. Robie also cut his teeth in coaching at West Virginia where he was an assistant under former head coach Craig Turnbull. HOKIES TOP PRINCETON Virginia Tech picked up its first dual meet win of the season on Dec. 7 with a 24-16 victory over Princeton. The match was highlighted by redshirt sophomore B.C. LaPrade’s 5-4 decision over Quincy Monday in two tiebreaker periods. LaPrade’s win was the first of four straight wins for the Hokies between 157 and 184, including major decisions from Mekhi Lewis at 165 and Zack Zavatsky at 184. Redshirt junior Korbin Myers put the match out of a reach with a win by fall, his first as a Hokie, in 3:41. The match marked Tech’s first dual of the season with both McFadden and Billy Miller, ranked seventh in the nation at heavyweight, in the starting lineup.

In his first season leading the program, head coach Tony Robie continued Virginia Tech wrestling’s run of success as the Hokies won its second consecutive ACC Championship and placed eighth at the NCAA Championships. Robie became the first ACC wrestling coach in history to guide his team to ACC championships in his first two seasons. With Robie on staff, Virginia Tech has now won four ACC titles over the last six years and seven conference trophies overall when including dual meet titles. The Hokies have also placed in the top 10 at NCAAs in each of the last six years. In Robie’s first full campaign, Virginia Tech placed at least three wrestlers on the podium at nationals for the sixth consecutive season. Jared Haught led the group of three All-Americans in 2018 by becoming the Hokies’ second-ever national finalist, joining Devin Carter in 2014. Four Hokies – Haught, David McFadden, Brent Moore and Dennis Gustafson – won ACC titles, with Moore taking home Most Valuable Wrestler honors. Robie also coached McFadden to a regular season record of 30-0, the first undefeated season at Virginia Tech since 2001-02. In duals, Robie led the Hokies to a 14-3 overall record, a 4-1 mark in ACC matches and a final ranking of No. 10 in the final NWCA Coaches Poll. Robie’s 14 dual meet victories ranks second in the ACC record book for most wins by a first-year head coach behind Wade Schalles’ 15 wins with Clemson in 1978. His .824 winning percentage ranks third all-time in ACC history for a rookie head coach. In Virginia Tech history, Robie’s winning percentage ranks first among rookie head coaches while his 14 wins ranks second behind Tom Brands’ 16 dual meet wins in 2004-05. Robie, who started five freshmen in duals for a majority of the season, was also named a finalist for the Theraworx NWCA National Coach of the Year award. On March 21, 2017, Robie was promoted to head wrestling coach at Virginia Tech after serving as interim head coach since February of that year. During that span, Robie led the Hokies to the team title at the ACC Championships and a sixth-place finish at the 2017 NCAA Championships in St. Louis – Tech’s fifth-straight top-10 finish at nationals. Robie was an integral part of the Virginia Tech wrestling staff for 11 seasons as associate head coach under former head coach Kevin Dresser. Between that 2006-07 and 2016-17, the Hokies won three ACC Dual Meet Championships, three ACC tournament championships and finished in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships five times. One of those top 10 team finishes included a then-ACC record and program best fourth place finish in 2016. He also helped recruit and coach 17 ACC champions and 14 All-Americans. Robie came to Blacksburg after serving as the head coach at Binghamton University, a program that had been discontinued after the 2003-04 school year because of budget constraints. Before taking over at Binghamton, he was an assistant coach for four seasons at the University of Michigan. In seven years as a Division I assistant coach, Robie helped coach 23 All-Americans, nine Academic All-Americans and one national champion. As the Wolverines’ top assistant coach, Robie recruited three top-10 classes, including the No. 2 ranked class in 2004. His one-on-one work with Michigan student-athlete Ryan Bertin culminated with Bertin’s 2003 NCAA championship - the school’s first national champion in 18 years. In all, Michigan’s team earned national top-10 status all four years that Robie was a coach there. His dedication and influence off the mat resulted in the wrestling team winning the 2003 community service award at the school. Robie joined the Michigan staff after coaching stops at West Virginia (1998-99) and Edinboro (1999-00). A native of Erie, Pa., Robie was a Dean’s List student at Edinboro and received the school’s Academic Achievement Award before graduating with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice in 1997. Robie and his wife, Jennifer, reside in Christiansburg with their three children – Nate, Luke and Jake.
