CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Virginia women’s basketball head coach Amaka Agugua-Hamilton announced today (April 14) that Romi Levy (Herzliya, Izrael) will join the program for the 2025-26 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.
