MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Despite losing senior shooting guard Katrina Pardee to an ankle injury, West Virginia picked up its first win in Big 12 women’s basketball play this year.
The Mountaineers (10-4, 1-2) beat Oklahoma State 67-58, closing the deal after Pardee was carried off the floor early in the fourth quarter. West Virginia was nursing a six-point lead when Pardee was injured coming down in the lane after scoring on a drive.
“We needed a win bad, and it was good to get it,” said Mountaineers coach Mike Carey. “Give them credit. The team that was in there was able to get a win.
