Game #117/17 West Virginia 67, Eastern Kentucky 42Nov. 15, 2014 • WVU ColiseumMorgantown, W.Va.
Recap Junior Bria Holmes’ game-leading 23 points carried the No. 17-ranked West Virginia women’s basketball team past Eastern Kentucky, 67-42, on Saturday evening in the opening round of the Preseason WNIT at the WVU Coliseum. West Virginia (1-0) used a 12-point run to close out the first half and took a commanding 30-19 halftime lead. WVU added four more points to the run in the second half before EKU came firing back. The Colonels (0-1) cut the deficit to 11 midway through the second half, but were unable to overcome the stingy play from WVU. West Virginia is now 13-1 in season openers under head coach Mike Carey. Holmes tied a career-high with nine field goal makes. Her 24 attempts tied five others for 10th most field goals shot by a Mountaineer junior. The Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year notched three steals, two assists and a block in 37 minutes of play. Veteran leaders Linda Stepney and Averee Fields each reached double-digits with 13 and 12 points, respectively. The duo combined for 10-of-14 from the field. Stepney handed out three assists and committed just one turnover in 36 minutes. Crystal Leary, a native of Norfolk, Virginia, grabbed 11 rebounds and swatted away a career-high four blocks in the win. Freshman Teana Muldrow tallied eight points and pulled in five boards during the win. EKU’s Michaela Hunter, Mariah Massengill and Shameekia Murray each had a team-leading eight points for the Colo-nels. Hunter corralled seven rebounds, including six off the defensive glass. The Mountaineers made 24-of-56 from the field for 42.9 percent, holding EKU to 14-of-51 for 27.5 percent. WVU hit six treys compared to the Colonels’ five. The Mountaineers held a slight rebounding edge 44-38, scoring 26 points in the paint. The Colonels won the points off turnover battle, 17-12. Early in the contest, Eastern Kentucky capitalized on WVU’s shooting woes as the Colonels took a 6-2 edge through the first five minutes. Holmes hit back-to-back triples cutting the Mountaineers deficit to 9-8 with 14-plus minutes remaining. WVU found its first lead with a Holmes layup to take a 13-12 edge. EKU quickly responded with its second triple to regain the edge. Both teams swapped leads until Stepney hit a game-tying free throw at 19-19. The Mountaineers closed out the first half on a 12-0 run in the final five minutes to take a commanding 30-19 halftime advantage. Holmes led all scorers at the half with 17 points, while Leary pulled in seven rebounds. EKU’s Murray led the Colonels with six first-half points. WVU shot 35.5 percent (11-of-31) from the field, while EKU was limited to 7-of-28 for 25 percent. The Mountaineers’ momentum continued into the second half as WVU stretched its lead to 15. Eastern Kentucky snapped its seven-minute drought with a trey from Alexus Cooper. WVU shot over 50 percent for the majority of the second half to take a commanding lead over the Colonels and collect their first victory of the season.

Game #217/17 West Virginia 89, Seton Hall 87Nov. 17, 2014 • WVU ColiseumMorgantown, W.Va.
Recap The No. 17 West Virginia women’s basketball team outlast-ed Seton Hall in an offensive showcase, 89-87, on Monday evening at the WVU Coliseum to advance to the Preseason WNIT semifinals. The Mountaineers (2-0) trailed by four with nine minutes remaining. Averee Fields’ layup at 7:09 gave WVU a brief 72-70 lead that it would never relinquish down the stretch. WVU stretched its advantage to nine under four minutes to play, but Seton Hall (1-1) continued to battle back. A pair of free throws from Pirates star Ka-Deidre Simmons cut WVU’s edge to one in the final 13 seconds. Redshirt freshman Teana Muldrow hit a free throw to give WVU an 89-87 lead with six seconds. A last layup attempt from Simmons fell short, as West Virginia secured the win. Holmes, the Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year, put together one of the most memorable performances in WVU Coliseum history with a career-best 36 points in the win. The New Haven, Connecticut native’s performance tied Kate Bulger (2003) for the second-most points in a single game at the Coliseum. Her effort also tied Bulger for third-most by a WVU junior. Fields earned her first career double-double scoring per-formance with 21 points, 15 rebounds and dishing out five assists. Muldrow finished out double-figure scoring for WVU with 19 points and nine boards. The freshman’s six triples tied three others for third most by a Mountaineer freshman with the most recent effort from Taylor Palmer in 2010 versus High Point.
