CHARLOTTE – Virginia Tech center Elizabeth Kitley earned ACC Player of the Week honors the conference announced Monday afternoon. For the graduate student, it is her fifth time winning the award this season and third week in a row.
Kitley helped the Hokies to a pair of victories to push Tech's win streak to nine games last week. The two-time Player of the Year scored 34 points against Duke and 26 at No. 18 Louisville, while shooting 76% from the field for the week. She also recorded double-doubles in both games taking her season tally in that category to 19.
With the road victory over Louisville, Tech owns the only road victories at each of the other top for teams in the league including NC State and Syracuse.
Tech has won nine straight in ACC play in the same season for the first time ever.
The Hokies will be back home at Cassell Coliseum on Sunday, Feb. 25 for a 2 p.m. tip against the North Carolina Tar Heels. That game can be seen on ACCN.
ESPN announced Sunday morning that College GameDay Covered by State Farm will broadcast live at Carilion Clinic Court at Cassell Coliseum on Sunday in advance of the North Carolina-Virginia Tech matchup.
The UNC game is sold out, but fans are encouraged to visit SeatGeek, the official secondary ticket marketplace of Virginia Tech Athletics.
