Elizabeth Kitley flirted with a blocks triple-double and Georgia Amoore dished out 11 assists as the duo once again led the way for the No. 11 Virginia Tech Hokies in a 75-62 win over the NC State Wolfpack on senior day Sunday afternoon at Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg.
The Wolfpack played with just seven as key players in Diamond Johnson and Saniya Rivers sat out with injuries.
Tech (22-4, 12-4 ACC) last met State (18-9, 8-8 ACC) on Feb. 6 when it was No. 11 and State was No. 22. The Hokies, as mentioned, were still at No. 11 on Sunday, but the Pack had fallen out of the rankings because they lost to Virginia after the loss to the Hokies.
It had seemed like a disappointing low to be out of the rankings for preseason-No. 10 State. But they bounced back with a win over No. 19 UNC on Thursday, keeping them well within the NCAA Tournament picture at a No. 7 seed in ESPN’s Friday Bracketology. The Pack was hoping to carry momentum over to Blacksburg, but fell victim to a stellar combo performance by Kitley and Amoore, like they did on Feb. 6.
On Sunday, Kitley nothced 24 points (11-of-16 from the field), 10 rebounds and seven blocks, while Amoore added 15 points to her stat line.
Sunday’s game was even save for a 29-17 second quarter in Tech’s favor. The Hokies…
