MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — JJ Quinerly scored 22 of her career-high 31 points in the second half, including West Virginia's last 11 points, and made a critical defensive play in the last minute as the No. 24 Mountaineers defeated Iowa State 84-78. The Cyclones were down 79-76 and had the ball as the final minute approached. West Virginia had the offense stymied and when Emily Ryan drove to the basket, Quinerly tied her up for a held ball turnover. Quinerly then hit a jumper on the ensuing possession and added three free throws to ice the game. At 3:33 and 2:06 of the fourth quarter, she hit 3-pointers when Iowa State was within two points. Audi Crooks matched her career high with 25 points in a second-straight game and had a career-high 16 rebounds for the Cyclones.
