Due to injuries and a lack of available players, the Cavaliers have declined an invitation to compete in the 2023 Postseason Women’s National Invitation Tournament.

“It has been a year filled with many ups and downs,” said Virginia head coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton. “We have persevered through so much adversity, changed the culture and have laid the foundation. We want to thank Wahoo Nation for your love and support throughout the course of the season. Although we would love to continue to compete in March and feel honored to have received an invitation to postseason play for the first time in five years, we are declining the WNIT due to a limited number of healthy bodies. Wahoo Nation, keep supporting us as we keep grinding…because the best is yet to come!”

The Cavaliers finish the season with a 15-15 record after going 5-22 in 2021-22.
