BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Elizabeth Kitley scored 29 points and grabbed nine rebounds, Georgia Amoore had 24 points and 13 assists and No. 19 Virginia Tech beat Georgia Tech 87-69 on Thursday night.
Virginia Tech (15-4, 6-2 ACC) won its 13th consecutive conference game at Cassell Coliseum to extend a program record. The Hokies have won two straight games overall after their first two-game skid since the 2021-22 season.
Kitley scored 19 points in the first half, on 9-of-11 shooting, and Amoore nearly had a double-double with 11 points and nine assists to help build a 46-35 lead. Amoore scored the opening five points of the second half and Kitley added eight points in the third quarter as Virginia Tech pulled away.
Kitley, who made 13-of-20 field goals, narrowly missed her sixth 30-point game of the season. She was coming off a 31-point performance against Clemson on Sunday, when she made a Cassell Colisuem record 15 field goals.
Olivia Summiel added 12 points and nine rebounds for Virginia Tech (15-4, 6-2 ACC).
Tonie Morgan scored 26 points and Rusne Augustinaite added 17 for Georgia Tech (13-7, 4-4). Kara Dunn, averaging a team-high 16.2 points per game, was held to five points on 1-of-10 shooting.
Virginia Tech travels to New York to play No. 22 Syracuse on Sunday. Georgia Tech plays the second of three straight ranked opponents on Sunday when it hosts No. 23 Florida State.
