"Virginia Tech's Elizabeth Kitley Injured in Loss to Virginia, Coach Brooks Fights Back Tears"

Virginia Tech's Elizabeth Kitley, a two-time ACC Player of the Year, suffered a noncontact left knee injury in the third quarter of the team's 80-75 loss at Virginia. The 6-foot-6 forward had 20 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 blocks before leaving the game. Her status is uncertain, but she is a projected late first-round pick in the 2024 WNBA draft. Despite the loss, Virginia Tech clinched the No. 1 seed in the ACC tournament, while Virginia secured their first win over a top-five opponent in the Amaka Agugua-Hamilton era.
