Virginia women’s basketball head coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton announced Monday that Romi Levy will join the program for the 2025-26 season.

A 6-foot-3 guard, Levy (Herzliya, Israel) spent the last two seasons at USF. In 2023-24, she was named the AAC Newcomer of the Year as well a as a second-team All-AAC selection after averaging a career-best 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists.

She was named AAC Preseason Player of the Year ahead of the 2024-25 season. Prior to her two-year stint at USF, Levy spent three seasons at Auburn where she was named an All-SEC Freshman Team selection in 2021.

“I’m thrilled to welcome Romi into our family,” said Agugua-Hamilton. “She is a 6-3 versatile guard who can post up smaller players or take bigger players off the bounce. She can defend and rebound as well. Romi is a mature player who wants to be a part of something special and something bigger than herself. I can’t wait to get to work with her.”

In 2018, Levy competed on the Israeli national team at the U18 Women’s European Championships and helped lead the team to a bronze medal scoring 14 points against Lithuania and 13 points against Albania.
