CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — WVU’s women’s basketball season ended with a 58-47 loss Monday to host No. 3 North Carolina.
The Tar Heels limited WVU to 24 percent shooting from the floor and just 2-of-22 (9.1 percent) from the three-point line.
“We can win games holding teams to 58 so I thought our effort on the defensive end was really good,” Mark Kellogg said following the loss. “I thought we competed. I thought we held them down long enough to see if we could make a run but we never made any runs,”
WVU has not made the Sweet 16 since 1992 — before the field expanded to 64 (and now 68). WVU has never won two games in the NCAA Tournament.
Jordan Harrison led WVU with 10 points. In senior J.J. Quinerly’s final game of her historic career, she struggled with just 8 points on 2-of-12 shooting.
