West Virginia 72, Kansas 56
LAWRENCE, Kan. - Senior Ayana Dunning scored 17 points to pave the way to a 72-56 West Virginia University women's basketball victory over Kansas on Saturday at the Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan.
With the win, the Mountaineers move to 14-9 overall and 6-6 in the Big 12, while the Jayhawks are 14-8 overall and 5-6 in the Big 12.
Leading 50-46, Christal Caldwell hit a 3-pointer to spark a 10-0 WVU run for its largest lead of the game to that point, 60-46, with 6:33 remaining. KU missed five jumpers and recorded a pair of turnovers during the Mountaineers' run. WVU held Kansas to only four points until Asia Boyd hit a three with just under two minutes to play. Running out of time and in desperation to score, Boyd's final four 3-point attempts were off the mark, while WVU converted 3-of-6 free throw attempts to seal the win.
