In Monday’s 69-52 win over Liberty in the home opener, the forward recorded her second double-double with 10 points and 11 boards. In Saturday’s loss at Rutgers, she led the Cavaliers with a team-high 16 points and a block in 37 minutes of action.

On the week, the freshman totaled 52 points and 30 rebounds. She leads the ACC in double-double performances in the early going.

After four games, Teamer leads Virginia in scoring and rebounding with 14.3 ppg and 9.3 rpg. She also shoots a team-best .481 from the field.
