MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Teana Muldrow hit three free throws after West Virginia allowed most of a 19-point lead to evaporate, and point guard Chania Ray recorded her first double-double as the Mountaineers held off No. 24 Kansas State 66-59 on Wednesday night.
West Virginia (18-8, 6-8) bolstered its NCAA tournament case despite a four-point night from Tynice Martin, who came in averaging 17 per game.
Ray picked up the slack with 14 points and 10 assists, while Lanay Montgomery worked around foul trouble to finish with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Katrina Pardee also scored 14, all in the first half.
