Her 85 3-pointers also marked the fourth most in a single season in Virginia Tech program history … In 2023-24, the then-senior collected two 30-point games and 16 20-point games, while she also recorded nine double-doubles, all of which were on points and assists. 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. She also played an instrumental role in the Hokies’ four straight NCAA Tournament appearances (2021-24), including their storied run to the Final Four in 2023 … She has collected numerous individual honors in her career, including recently being named an All-American by the Associated Press, John R. Wooden Award and U.S. Writers Basketball Association. Amoore also was recently named one of five finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award and picked up ACC First Team honors for the second straight season.
