The Discover Puerto Rico Shootout came to an end on Saturday with UVA falling to Wyoming by a score of 71-66.
The Cavaliers (6-3) closed the weekend with a record of 1-2 after back-to-back comeback efforts fell just short.
Kymora Johnson scored 20 of her 26 points in the second half. Johnson also had a career-high nine rebounds.
Wyoming (4-4) led by as many as 11 points [65-54] in the fourth, but the Cavaliers battled back. Seven points from Johnson fueled a 10-2 Virginia run to trim the deficit back to three, but Virginia was ultimately unable to close the gap.
