WVU women knock off No. 15 Duke in wild tilt
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS (AP) — Sydney Shaw scored 16 points and reserve Celia Riviere scored 12 as West Virginia overcame the ejection of six players just before halftime to beat 15th-ranked Duke 57-49 Friday night.
The undefeated Mountaineers (4-0) finished the game with just five players.
West Virginia lost backups Gia Cooke, Carter McCray, Madison Parrish, Jordan Thomas and Kierra Wheeler in a dust-up between the squads. The Mountaineers also lost starter Jordan Harrison.
Duke (2-2) lost Jordan Wood in the skirmish, which took 15 minutes for officials to sort through.
Wood blocked Harrison’s shot attempt as time expired at the half, then flexed on her in a stare down.
When the two exchanged shoves, the Mountaineers’ bench emptied before the teams were separated.
Departing the bench carries an automatic ejection.
