No. 9 Virginia overcame a slow start to defeat Northeastern 97-72 on Saturday, with Lewis and Mallory playing key roles in the comeback.
The Cavaliers, ranked ninth in the nation, trailed early but rallied behind strong performances from Lewis and Mallory to secure the victory at home.
Mike Barber of the Associated Press reported that Virginia's depth and second-half surge proved too much for the Huskies.
The win improves Virginia's record early in the 2026-27 season.
