CHARLOTTE, N.C. – For the third consecutive season, Virginia Tech All-American center Elizabeth Kitley has been named the women’s Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year.
It’s just the third time in the history of the league that a player has earned the honor three consecutive seasons as Kitley joins Duke’s Alana Beard (2002-04) and Maryland’s Alyssa Thomas (2012-14). Kitley ranks second in the conference in scoring averaging 22.8 points and is the only player to average just over 11 rebounds per contest. Tying the league record for the most ACC Player of the Week honors with six on the year, Kitley averaged a conference-best 24.0 points and 11.2 rebounds in ACC games. After becoming the ACC’s all-time leading rebounder on December 21, Kitley currently sits in second place on the ACC’s all-time scoring list with 2,709 points.
