The WVU women’s basketball team should be well on their way to their school’s first ever Top 10 ranking as the Eers beat Seton Hall 70-42 at the Walsh Gym in South Orange, New Jersey.  This win gives head coach Mike Carey his first win at Seton Hall in his WVU coaching career.  LaQuita Owens torched the nets once again as she led all scorers with 20 points on 6 three-pointers.  Owens became the fourth Mountaineer player on this team to reach the 1,000 point milestone.  She joins Meg Bulger, who did not make the trip due to her ailing knee, Yinka Sanni, and Jersey native Chahkia Cole for that dubious destination.  Sanni also scored 19 points as she bounced back from her foul-plagued game against Rutgers last Tuesday night.

West Virginia took control of game defensively as they held the Pirates scoreless in the first 6:10 of the game.  Their dominance continued throughtout the entire first half as they held the Pirates to 16 points.   They never led up in the second half as they brought it up to a 30 point lead on a few occasions.  They held the Pirates to 29 percent shooting and forced 19 turnovers.  Coach Carey brought in some bench warmers at around the 8 minute mark as this game was well decided from the beginning.

West Virginia raises their record to 18-3 and are now 7-1 in Big East play.  They will get some rest before heading up to New England to play the Providence Friars Saturday afternoon at 2pm.  Keep on winning and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MOUNTAINEERS!
