Kymora Johnson's historic season continues. The sophomore guard and Charlottesville native was named to the All-ACC First Team, as voted by the ACC's head coaches and the Blue Ribbon Panel and announced the ACC on Tuesday (March 4th). Johnson became the first Cavalier to earn a First-Team All-ACC selection since since Jocelyn Willoughby in 2020 and she is the first UVA sophomore to be named to the All-ACC First Team since Schuye LaRue accomplished the feat back in 2001.

Johnson, who was an All-ACC Second Team and ACC All-Freshman selection in the 2023-2024 season, followed up her outstanding first year campaign with an even more impressive sophomore leap. Johnson is currently sixth in the ACC in scoring at 17.3 points per game and is tied for the league lead in assists at 5.9 assists per game with Notre Dame's Olivia Miles. On February 16th, Johnson recorded the third triple-double in the history of the UVA women's basketball program, posting 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists to help the Cavaliers to beat Pittsburgh. She joined Dawn Staley as the only players in program history to notch a double-double. Johnson also reached the 1,000 career points mark by scoring a season-high 33 points to help Virginia beat Stanford in the final home game of the regular season.
