CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Two-time Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year Liz Kitley left No. 5 Virginia Tech’s game at Virginia in the third quarter on Sunday following being fouled while making a layup.
Kitley’s basket off a turnover by Virginia with 6:05 left in the period pulled Virginia Tech even at 41-all, but she was fouled by Taylor Lauterbach and hit the floor following making the shot. She was slow to get up and headed into the visitors tunnel with medical staff.
Clara Strack made the free throw in her place.
Kitley returned to the Hokies’ bench with 30 seconds left in the period to thunderous cheers from the sizable Hokies contingent at John Paul Jones Arena.
