MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- — JJ Quinerly scored a career-high 38 points on 16-of-21 shooting to tie the program's single-game scoring record, and No. 18 West Virginia beat Utah 75-46 on Wednesday night to finish 16-0 at home this season.
Quinerly matched Meg Bulger (2004-08) for the most points by a Mountaineer women’s player in likely her final game inside the WVU Coliseum.

Quinerly made a 3-pointer from the corner with 8:19 left in the fourth — her fourth in five attempts — to set a career-high with 34 points. She sat out much of the quarter with West Virginia leading by 20-plus for the final 3:51.
Utah entered as one of the nation’s premier shooting teams, ranking inside the top 15 in the nation for field goals (47.7%) and 3-point makes (38.5%). Utah finished with 17 made field goals, in 54 attempts, and had 28 turnovers.
West Virginia (22-6, 12-5 Big 12) scored 35 points off those turnovers. It was the 19th game this season that West Virginia has recorded 20-plus takeaways in a game.
Maye Toure led Utah (21-7, 12-5) with 12 points and nine rebounds. Gianna Kneepkens, averaging a team-high 19.4, was held to nine points.
