Georgia Amoore lights up Atlantic Coast Conference with game-winning displays

The 20-year-old matched a season-high tally of 20 points and collected a career-high six rebounds to help Virgina Tech upset Duke on Friday afternoon (AEDST).

Amoore also finished with six assists in the 77-55 win against the 15^th ranked side in the United States.

The former Loreto College student shot four of the Hokies' nine three-pointers.

"We have the inside game. We have the outside game," Amoore said after the win.

The win takes the Hokies to 10-3 overall and 2-0 in Atlantic Coast Conference for just the third team in history.
