TECH'S ALFANO TO LEAD COACHES

Virginia Tech's Carol Alfano has been elected second vice president of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association for the 1995-96 season, which means she will serve as the association's president in 1997-98.

Alfano, who was elected by her peers, will begin a four-year term on the WBCA's executive committee on Sept.1, serving as second vice president in 1995-96, first vice president in `96-97, president in `97-98 and past president in `98-99.

In 17 seasons, Alfano's Tech teams have compiled a 271-230 record, including NCAA Tournament appearances this year and in 1994.
