Women’s Basketball: Virginia, behind 33 from Kymora Johnson, coasts past Stanford, 89-69

Kymora Johnson was ridiculous – 33 points, 12 assists, eight rebounds – leading Virginia to an 89-69 win over Stanford in the team’s home finale on Sunday at JPJ.

UVA (14-14, 6-10 ACC) was 14-of-30 from three, with Johnson connecting on 6-of-11 from behind the arc.

This one was never a game. The Cavaliers got out to a 13-1 lead four minutes in, and the Cardinal (14-13, 6-10 ACC) would only get as close as 11 the rest of the way.

Latasha Lattimore had 21 points (9-of-11 FG, 3-of-4 3FG) and 12 rebounds, and Paris Clark had 18 points, seven rebounds and six assists for the ‘Hoos, who climbed into a three-way tie for 10th in the ACC with Stanford and Clemson (13-14, 6-10 ACC).

Virginia closes the regular season on the road – at SMU (10-18, 2-14 ACC) on Thursday, and at UNC (25-4, 13-3 ACC) on Sunday.
