Jordan Harrison Reflects on WVU Women’s Basketball Career

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – A three-year Mountaineer career came to a close for WVU women’s basketball senior guard Jordan Harrison after a 74-73 loss to Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament’s Round of 32.

Harrison followed head coach Mark Kellogg to Morgantown in 2023 when he was hired from Stephen F. Austin. With Monday marking the end of her Mountaineer tenure, she said she enjoyed her journey.

“Yeah, it’s definitely been a great ride, I would say. I’m just very thankful and blessed for the journey here. I love it here and I wouldn’t have traded it for the world. But yeah, we had to build and I think that’s what we did,” Harrison said in the postgame press conference.

“We just build it up more each year. And yeah, I just want to thank Coach Kellogg for believing in me. But yeah, it’s definitely been a great journey and I’m happy to have done it with my teammates.”

Harrison caps off her WVU tenure with a Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year nod, averaging 13.2 points per game and totaling 106 steals this year.

Despite the outcome of Monday’s game, fans showed out in support of the WVU women’s basketball team over the weekend. Harrison was sure to thank them for their support along the way this year.

“I would say our fans love us to death and they support us no matter what. Our true fans support us no matter what. I hope we made them proud. And yeah, I’m just so happy that my last game was here in a sold-out crowd, which I would have never thought I would have ever played in front of a sold-out crowd that was cheering for us,” Harrison said.

“But yeah, I mean, Shout out to them. We love them to death. We’re sorry we couldn’t get it done, but we hope we made y’all proud this season.”
