Alex Walsh Will Return to Virginia For Fifth Year of Eligibility<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Alex Walsh<\/strong> has led the University of Virginia to four consecutive NCAA Championships. The Cavaliers have gone from never winning a team title to a dynasty.<\/p>\n

Walsh wants to make sure she is around for as much of the dynasty as possible.<\/p>\n

She posted on social media on Monday that she will take the extra year of eligibility offered by the NCAA for the COVID-19 year, giving her a fifth year with the Cavaliers.<\/p>\n

“Goodbyes are hard \u2026 good thing I get one more year to practice mine … #fifthyear<\/a>,” Alex Walsh posted on Instagram.<\/p>\n
