MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University’s women’s basketball team (19-3, 8-1) moved to No. 11 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, released today. The Mountaineers received 736 points.
The ranking ties for the highest-ever by the Mountaineers in the AP Poll as the 1991-92 reached No. 11 for two consecutive weeks in March, 1992.
