Lady Bears dominate West Virginia to extend win streak to seven

By Jessika Harkay | Sports Writer

The No. 2-ranked Baylor women’s basketball team advanced to 15-1 (5-0) and notched its 27th consecutive win versus a Big 12 opponent Sunday afternoon with a 79-47 win over West Virginia.

The Lady Bears began the game with a slow start. With four lead changes and three ties throughout the first quarter, the matchup seemed to be even. The Mountaineers led or were tied with the Lady Bears for the majority of the first quarter — until the last minute when Baylor grasped and held a lead of five points. Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey said they just needed some time to settle into their game plan.
