Virginia on Fire: 16 Points from Dai Dai Ames Ignite Crushing Blowout Victory Over Holy Cross

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - In a commanding performance, the University of Virginia Cavaliers men's basketball team trounced the Holy Cross Crusaders by a 26-point margin, 67-41, on Friday evening.

The Cavaliers got off to a blistering start as they quickly piled up points and set the tone for a match that Holy Cross struggled to turn around. With a strong team performance, Virginia was able to capitalize on their opponents' shooting woes and sprint towards a decisive victory.

Dai Dai Ames was undoubtedly the highlight of the match as the Cavaliers' sharpshooter effortlessly sunk shots and scored 16 points to extend Virginia's considerable lead. His consistent performance down the stretch, propelled Virginia to their convincingly large victory.

While Holy Cross will make quick efforts to put this dismal loss behind them, Virginia basks in the glory of an emphatic performance. As they revel in the glow of a truly comprehensive win, the Cavaliers' supporters are undoubtedly excited for their upcoming games and the trials that lie ahead.
