Update (9:20 PM) – WVU Women’s Basketball demolished Texas Southern 109-40 at the Hope Coliseum on Monday, Dec. 8, their second win in a row.

All five of the Mountaineers’ starters finished in double digits despite playing just 121 combined minutes after running away with the lead.
Kierra Wheeler led the field with 23 points, eight rebounds, six assists and two steals in just 23 minutes played; Jordan Harrison hit the 1,000 point mark for her Mountaineers’ career, finishing with 17 points, seven assists, four steals and no turnovers. Gia Cooke (14 points), Carter McCray (12 points), Sydney Shaw (11 points) and bench guard Sydney Woodley (12 points) rounded out the major scoring contributions.
Up next, the Mountaineers will host Georgia Tech at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 11.
