CHARLOTTESVILLE Va. — Virginia third year guard Kymora Johnson has been named a finalist for the 2026 Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-America Team, as announced by the WBCA on Wednesday (March 18).
Averaging 19.0 points per game, Johnson leads the Cavaliers and ranks second in the ACC. She has paced UVA in scoring in 20 games this season, including 12 against ACC opponents. Johnson set a single‑game program record with 10 three‑pointers against Winthrop and later broke the Cavaliers’ single‑season mark with 88 made threes. Her 216 career three‑pointers place her just four shy of Tora Suber’s program record (220).
Johnson leads the ACC and ranks No. 14 in NCAA Division I averaging 5.9 assists per game and is one of three players in Division I to average at least 19 points and 5.5 assists per game this season. She surpassed 1,600 career points in the final game of the regular season, the 93rd game of her career. Johnson is tied with Donna Holt for 10th in program history with 1,634 points and is just the fourth Division I player this century to reach at least 1,600 career points, and 500 career assists through 93 games joining Caitlin Clark (Iowa), Sabrina Ionescu (Oregon) and Dequesha McClanahan (Winthrop).
Johnson was named an All-America honorable mention by the WBCA in 2025. She was named a first team All-ACC selection for the second consecutive season (March 3) and is the first UVA player to earn All‑ACC honors in three straight seasons since Monica Wright accomplished the feat from 2008–10. Johnson was a first‑team All-ACC selection in 2024–25 after earning second‑team and all‑freshman honors in 2023–24.
Up next, Johnson and the 10th-seeded Cavaliers (19-11) take on 10th-seeded Arizona State (24-10) in a First Four meeting in the NCAA Tournament on Thursday (March 19). Tipoff from Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa is set for 9 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
