The Virginia Cavaliers women’s basketball team kicked off the Blue-White Scrimmages on Saturday evening inside John Paul Jones Arena, taking care of business against the male scout team 36-29.
Kymora Johnson, Olivia McGhee, Payton Dunbar, Edessa Noyan, and Latasha Lattimore made up the first five for the ‘Hoos with Yonta Vaughn, RyLee Grays, and Casey Valenti-Paea the first three to come off the bench in both halves.
Here are four takeaways from our first look at the ‘Hoos in year three of the Coach Mox era.
Edessa Noyan looks primed for an expanded role
The least-heralded member of Coach Mox’s 2023 recruiting class that also included highly touted prospects Kymora Johnson and Olivia McGhee, Noyan looks like she’s ready to take a big step forward this season.
