Kymora Johnson had 17 points and five assists to lead Virginia to an 83-41 win over Radford on Wednesday night in JPJ.
The win was a nice bounceback for the ‘Hoos (2-1), who had lost 95-51 at #10 Oklahoma on Friday night.
“Our scoring was spread around, we dominated the game for 40 minutes, and that was what we wanted to do,” UVA coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton said. “We didn’t want to let up at all. We didn’t want to get complacent. We kept fighting and held them to six points in the fourth quarter. There’s definitely a lot of growth in that game.”
Yonta Vaughn had 14 points and five assists in the win, in her first game action of the 2024-2025 season.
Breona Hurd and Olivia McGhee each added 11 points for Virginia, which will host La Salle on Sunday at 2 p.m.
Recruiting news: Virginia adds four-star guard
Agugua-Hamilton announced the signing of Gabby White (Chapel Hill, N.C.) to a financial aid agreement.
A 5’10” guard, White is a four-star prospect and currently ranked No. 96 in the espnW HoopGurlz Top 100 recruiting rankings.
White attends Seaforth High School, where she has accumulated 1,390 career points, 839 rebounds, 352 assists, 312 steals and 110 blocks.
“I’m super excited to announce Gabby as our new addition,” Agugua-Hamilton said. “Gabby is an extremely high-character kid who is serious about her craft. She is a big, athletic guard who can get downhill and create. She rebounds and competes on the defensive end at an elite level and has a high basketball IQ as she is a coach’s kid. Her selfless spirit and work ethic on and off the court will make her transition to UVA seamless. She is already family and will continue to enhance our culture when she gets here!”
