MORGANTOWN — The West Virginia women’s basketball team used its best shooting performance in league play this season to collect a 64-44 victory over Kansas State in front of 4,328 fans at the WVU Coliseum for the annual Play 4Kay pink game.
The Mountaineers started the fourth quarter on a 13-3 run and rolled to their 18th victory of the season.
Bria Holmes netted the third double-double of her career and the second this season with 17 points and a career-high 11 rebounds. Sophomore Teana Muldrow finished with 10 points, six rebounds and a career-best three blocks. Katrina Pardee also eclipsed double figures with 10 points. Senior Arielle Roberson netted a season-high 13 rebounds, scored eight points, blocked two shots and had a pair of steals. Holmes finished with a team-leading five assists, and Morgantown native Olivia Seggie produced four assists for the Mountaineers.
“We got the win that’s the most important thing,” WVU coach Mike Carey said. “I thought Bria Holmes played very well. I thought Arielle (Roberson) played well on the boards. We had too many turnovers. The point guards have to do a better job. We have to get in our steps. Too many missed foul shots. You have those turnovers and missed foul shots like that; that’s an Oklahoma second half. Too many turnovers and missed shots and you get beat. We have to work on it.”
West Virginia closes out its current homestand against Iowa State at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Coliseum.
