Kymora Johnson drilled a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 30.6 seconds left to lift Virginia to a 57-55 win over Arizona State in an NCAA Women's First Four game in Iowa City.
Marley Washenitz's corner 3 with 41.4 seconds remaining lifted the Sun Devils (24-11) into a 51-all tie. But Johnson dribbled to the 3-point line on the right wing, turned down a screen at the top of the key that gave her enough room for a clean look and converted. Virginia won despite making only 21 of 65 shots from the field (32.3%).
Johnson finished with 17 points, 10 rebounds and five assists for the Cavaliers (20-11), which earned a date with seventh-seeded Georgia in a first-round game Saturday. Virginia's Caitlin Weimar added 11 points and 12 boards, hitting a pair of foul shots with 11 seconds left.
Washenitz scored a game-high 19 points for Arizona State, which had a chance to force overtime or win after Johnson made just 1 of 2 foul shots with five seconds remaining. But Paris Clark stole the ball from Jyah LoVett just before time expired.
