The Virginia women’s basketball team defeated Virginia Tech on the road, 63-55, sweeping the season series with the rival Hokies.
The Cavaliers got off to a hot start against the Hokies, jumping out to a 19-8 lead in the first quarter with seven different players making successful shots. Virginia Tech hung around and bested Virginia in the second quarter, but a jumper by senior guard Breyana Mason with six seconds left in the half gave the Cavaliers a 10 point advantage into halftime.
The third quarter was a defensive slugfest, with the Hokies besting Virginia 10-8. Hokies continued to claw back in the fourth quarter and got to within one point with 1:36 remaining, but a layup and-one by Dominique Toussaint silenced the crowd and solidified the win for the Cavaliers.
Virginia had a balanced scoring attack against the Hokies, with four players scoring in double digits. Mason led the Cavaliers with 13 points, while Toussaint and junior guard J’Kyra Brown chipped in 11. Junior forward Lauren Moses helped the Cavaliers on the boards with eight rebounds and added six points. The Cavaliers stifling defense held the Hokies to only 32.8 percent shooting.
Virginia next travels to Louisville, Ky. for a tough matchup with No. 14 Louisville (23-6, 10-4 ACC) in its second to last regular season game.
