WBB Falls To No. 9 Virginia Tech On Last-Second Shot

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Elizabeth Kitley capped a night when she set Virginia Tech's career scoring record by hitting a jumper at the buzzer to lift the ninth-ranked Hokies past No. 22 North Carolina 61-59 on Thursday night.
The 6-foot-6 senior finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds in a game played in her home state, the last coming with the Hokies (23-4, 13-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) locked in a tie game with 2.1 seconds left.
Cayla King inbounded to Kitley on the right side, who had space to calmly launch a jumper while UNC's Anya Poole tried to close on her late.
