Kyah Watson paired seven points with nine rebounds for the Mountaineers (17-4, 7-3 Big 12), who have won four of their last five games. West Virginia shot 40.4 percent overall and hit just 4 of 17 attempts from 3-point range. Shaw connected on 3 of 6 tries from deep.
Alexia Smith tallied 15 points and 11 rebounds to pace the Cowgirls (18-4, 8-3), who had their four-game winning streak snapped. Oklahoma State finished a season-worst 21.2 percent from the field and missed 21 of its 23 3-point attempts.
The Mountaineers opened the second quarter with six straight points to build a 16-6 lead. They held a 23-14 halftime edge before Micah Gray scored five in a row to bring the Cowgirls within 25-19 early in the third quarter.
Buckets from Shaw and Quinerly pushed the margin back to 12 entering the fourth quarter, and West Virginia rattled off the game’s final eight points to seal the win.
