Former Virginia Tech guard Georgia Amoore is transferring to Kentucky, she announced Thursday on social media.
Amoore follows former Hokies coach Kenny Brooks, who took the job in March after the program fired previous coach Kyra Elzy.
The Australian point guard was part of the Virginia Tech teams that won the ACC tournament title last year and the regular season title this year. Alongside three-time ACC Player of the Year Liz Kitley, Amoore also helped the program to its first Final Four last season.
A two-time first-team all-ACC selection, Amoore averaged career highs this season with 18.8 points and 6.8 assists per game. She leaves Virginia Tech as the program’s all-time assists leader.
While Amoore was eligible for the WNBA draft, she opted to return for her fifth and final season of collegiate eligibility.
Former Hokies center Clara Strack also announced on Thursday that she will be joining Amoore in transferring to Kentucky.
