Lindsay Biggs's 18 points paced four Hokies in double figures as Virginia Tech rolled to an 82-46 victory over visiting Elon on Saturday.

The matchup opened a four-game home stand for Virginia Tech, which improved to 4-2 with the win. The Phoenix fell to 2-2.

Biggs made 6 of 11 shots, including 4 of 7 from three-point range, to score at least 18 points for the third time this season.

The senior is 17 of 30 on three-pointers over the past four games and is closing in on second place on the school's all-time list for three-pointers made. Joining Biggs in double figures were freshman Alyssa Fenyn (14 points), senior Utahya Drye (12) and freshman Porschia Hadley (10).
