ROANOKE, Va. – It comes as not much of a surprise that Virginia Tech center Elizabeth Kitley was named the 2022-2023 ACC Women’s Basketball Player of the Year. Kitley won the award for the second consecutive season, becoming the third-straight two-time winner behind AD Durr and Dana Evans.
Kitley is the only ACC player to average a double-double this season, as she ranks fourth in the conference with 18.8 points per game and a league-best 10.7 rebounds per contest. The Summerfield, North Carolina, native has posted a conference-best 18 double-doubles this season, including each of her last four games to help Virginia Tech seal a double bye in this week’s Ally ACC Women’s Basketball Tournament. Kitley won ACC Player of the Week four times this season, the most of any player.
