On November 14th, the University of Virginia womens basketball team suffered a shocking loss to UMBC, reminiscent of a mens basketball upset eight years prior. Coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton labeled the performance unacceptable, citing slow offense, poor defense, and missed opportunities. Virginia struggled from the start, falling behind early and failing to convert scoring chances, including many layups and free throws. Sophomore forward Breona Hurd shone with a career-high twenty-two points and four blocks, but UMBCs efficient three-point shooting proved decisive in the five-point loss.
