Chania Ray hit a three-pointer to open the game, but Texas (28-3) used an 11-3 run to take an early lead. The Longhorns led by 15 at the half and started the third quarter on a 10-2 spurt to extend their advantage to 23. WVU (24-9) outscored UT, 15-8, in the final period and trimmed the game to 14, but Texas maintained its lead and will play No.
