She was the only player in the league to put up at least five games with at least 10 assists, and she did so nine times … Amoore set several career highs last season, too, including dishing out 16 assists against Houston Christian on Nov. 16 and scoring 39 points against Virginia on March 3. Her 39 points were the highest scoring output in ACC action in 2023-24, while it marked the second highest in a game in program history … During her four years in Blacksburg, she became Virginia Tech’s all-time career leader in assists (656), assists / turnover ratio (1.8) and average minutes played (34.3), while she also climbed to second in 3-pointers (330) and third in scoring (1,853) … Amoore helped the Hokies earn their first ACC Tournament title in program history in 2023 and their first ACC regular-season title in 2024.
