CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The Cavaliers will split the season series with the Hokies after Virginia (12-13, 4-9 ACC) fell to Virginia Tech (16-8, 7-6 ACC) by a score of 87-62 on Sunday afternoon (Feb. 9) at John Paul Jones Arena.
Kymora Johnson (16 pts, 5 ast, 3 reb) and Paris Clark (16 pts, 4 ast, 4 reb) led the team on the stat sheet while Breona Hurd (12 pts, 2 stl, 2 reb) rounded out a trio of Cavaliers in double figures.
The Hokie offense shot the ball at an efficient 58-percent clip (31-53) including 12-for-19 from beyond the arc and converted 20 points off 18 Cavalier turnovers to hand Virginia its second consecutive defeat.
From Head Coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton:
“Credit to Virginia Tech. They were the better team tonight. Another embarrassing performance. We have not played well at home, gave up too many points, not executing. That’s why the game went the way it went.”
