Virginia rides overtime surge past Georgia to reach NCAA Round of 32
TL;DR Summary
10th-seeded Virginia outlasted 7th-seeded Georgia 82-73 in overtime behind 28 points from Kymora Johnson and 23 from Sa’Myah Smith (plus 11 rebounds), becoming the first lower seed to win this season. Virginia outscored Georgia 11-2 in OT to reach the second round, where they’ll face Iowa or Fairleigh Dickinson after beating First Four participant Arizona State earlier this week; Georgia’s Mia Woolfolk had 27 and Rylie Theuerkauf 22, but Virginia’s second-half defense and a tighter man-to-man approach helped seal the win and Woolfolk left overtime after taking hard falls.
