Liz Kitley Night

Elizabeth Kitley, a standout player in Virginia Tech women's basketball history, will have her jersey retired on January 19, 2025, during a game against Louisville at Cassell Coliseum. Kitley, who was instrumental in leading the Hokies to their first Final Four appearance in 2023, holds numerous program records, including points scored and rebounds, and was named ACC Player of the Year three times.

Athletic Director Whit Babcock has praised Kitley's impact on the program, emphasizing her work ethic and character as an inspiration for future athletes. Tickets for the jersey retirement ceremony are in high demand, reflecting her legacy among Hokie fans. The event promises to be a significant occasion in honoring Kitley's contributions to Virginia Tech's basketball program.
