Year 3 of the Coach Mox era got off to a solid start, with Virginia seizing control early on its way to a 104-68 win over American on Monday night at JPJ.

Kymora Johnson and Latasha Lattimore each had 21 points to lead the Cavaliers, who also got 18 points from freshman Breona Hurd.

Center Taylor Lauterbach had a career-high 13 rebounds for UVA.

It was the third straight season-opening win for Amaka Agugua-Hamilton.

The 104 points scored was the most for a Virginia team since the 2009-2010 season.

“Obviously 104 is a lot of points. I’m really proud of our offensive execution today,” Agugua-Hamilton said. “I thought we played with pace the way we wanted to. We had some lapses on defense that we can work on before our next game, but I thought for the most part, we were locked in. It was a great team effort.”
