Hokie ClubVirginia Tech center Elizabeth Kitley was named a second team All-American the USBWA announced Tuesday afternoon. Point guard Georgia Amoore was placed on the third team.
Amoore was sixth in the conference in scoring (18.71), second in 3's per game (2.79), second in assist to turnover ratio (2.10) and led the ACC in assists (7.29) earning her first team All-ACC honors for the second consecutive season.
The Australia native owns two 30-point games, 14 20-point games and recorded nine double-doubles, a figure that was fifth in the conference. She was the only athlete to record more than five 10-assist games in the ACC.
Her 39-point performance on the final day of the regular season, was the highest scoring single-game output in conference play this season.
Amoore, who was named one of five finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award, is third nationally in assists per game and also ranks in the top 20 of 3-point shooters.
The senior became the program's all-time leader in assists this season and has also climbed to second in 3's and fourth in scoring. This season, she has produced the third-highest single-season total of assists and the seventh-most 3's.
Kitley was named the ACC's Player of the Year for the third consecutive season earlier this month, becoming the third woman in ACC history to win the award in three consecutive seasons, joining Alana Beard (Duke) and Alyssa Thomas (Maryland).
The Summerfield, North Carolina native ranks second in the conference in scoring (22.79), second in field goal percentage (55.6%), first in rebounds (11.38), second in blocks (2.07), first in double-doubles (19) and first in 30-point games with eight.
She won ACC Player of the Week six times, the most of any athlete, including a stretch of four consecutive weeks in February. The six POW honors ties Beard for the most in any single season in conference history.
With her Player of the Year Award comes a fourth first team All-ACC nod, just the second player in conference history to accomplish the feat (Duke's Elizabeth Williams). Kitley was also recognized as an All-Defensive Team member for the third consecutive season.
Nationally, Kitley ranks third in field goals. She is sixth in points per game and eight in rebounds per game and double-doubles.
She has claimed the top spot in several categories in the Virginia Tech annals this season including: starts, minutes played, double figure games, 30-point games and rebounds, which is also an ACC watermark.
In terms of single-season achievements, the 2023-24 season has seen Kitley produce the highest scoring average in program history, score the most field goals and come within six points of the record for single season scoring.
Additionally, she was named the Kay Yow Scholar Athlete of the Year for the third time this season.
