WVU Release WVU Women's Soccer - No. 12 TCU Hands WVU First Loss in Big 12 Play

FORT WORTH, Texas (Oct. 10, 2024) – The West Virginia University women’s soccer team fell, 3-1, at No. 12 TCU inside Garvey-Rosenthal Soccer Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas, on Thursday night.

Despite West Virginia (9-3-2, 5-1-1 Big 12) getting on the board first with a beautiful goal from junior forward Taylor White, the Horned Frogs responded with three consecutive tallies to secure the win. The loss marked the Mountaineers’ first in Big 12 Conference play this season.

The score line in the first half finished how it started, despite 10 shots between the two teams in the first 45 minutes. The Mountaineers started knocking early, but it was TCU that had the best look of the half. In the final two minutes, redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Mackenzie Smith was called on to make her first save of the match, keeping the contest scoreless at the break.

Out of the locker room, WVU came out firing and got on the board first in the 52nd minute. An excellent ball from senior forward Dilary Heredia-Beltran found White in the box, as a quick touch from the Cincinnati, Ohio, native put the Mountaineers ahead.

Unfortunately, the Horned Frogs responded immediately, tying it up just after the ensuing kickoff. From there, TCU added two more in the 58th and 71st minutes to seal the victory over the Mountaineers.

The final box score showed a dominant performance from the Horned Frogs, who outshot West Virginia, 21-7, including 6-3 in shots on goal. White and Heredia-Beltran led West Virginia’s offensive efforts with a pair of shots apiece. White’s goal marked her fifth of the season, as well as her first since the Big 12 opener at Cincinnati on Sept. 12.

With the loss, WVU moves to 10-5-3 all-time against the Horned Frogs, including 3-2-2 in matches played in Fort Worth. Of note, the falter ends a nine-match unbeaten streak for the Mountaineers, while it is their first loss since Aug. 29, at then-No. 12 Penn State.

Up next, West Virginia concludes its road swing at Baylor on Sunday, Oct. 13. Kickoff at Betty Lou Mays Field in Waco, Texas, is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET.

WVU Release WVU's JJ Quinerly Unanimous Selection to Preseason All-Big 12 Team, Mountaineers Selected Finish Fifth

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Oct. 3, 2024) Senior guard JJ Quinerly of the West Virginia University women's basketball team has earned a spot on the 2024-25 Preseason All-Big 12 Team, as one of three unanimous selections, the conference announced Thursday.



Additionally, the Mountaineers we selected to finish fifth and received one first place vote in the preseason poll. League coaches voted on the awards and poll and were not allowed to vote for their own team.



The Preseason All-Big 12 selection is the second of Quinerly’s career. Last year she was also named to the preseason team before collecting her second straight first team all-conference and defensive team honor at the conclusion of the regular season.



During her junior campaign, Quinerly broke onto the national scene earning honorable mention All-American honors and becoming an Ann Meyers Drysdale Shooting Guard of the Year Finalist, a Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Semifinalist Player and to the WBCA Player of the Year Watchlist.



Additionally, Quinerly racked up a career-high 19.8 points per game while adding 97 steals. She finished with 20 or more points in a game 16 times and hit double figures in 32 games.



A native of Norfolk, Virginia, Quinerly has averaged 14.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.4 steals per game for her career. Her steals per game ranks inside the program's top 10 at No. 7 and her 231 total steals are No. 8.



Quinerly became the fourth Mountaineer to be named to the league's All-Freshman Team three seasons ago, joining Bria Holmes (2013), Tynice Martin (2016) and Madisen Smith (2019).



K-State was selected as the favorite in the league’s preseason poll for the first time in program history while Ayoka Lee is the Conference’s Preseason Player of the Year. Lee and Iowa State’s Audi Crooks join Quinerly as unanimous selections to the team.



2024-25 league action is set to commence Saturday, Dec. 21 as this year marks the Conference’s first with 16 members. The regular season will be followed by the 2025 Phillips 66 Big 12 Women’s Basketball Championship, which will take place in Kansas City’s T-Mobile Center for the second consecutive season.



The current league members combined to go 8-0 in their first game of the 2024 NCAA Tournament while 15 of the 16 teams finished the 2023-24 season in the top 101 of the NET rankings. Four Big 12 teams are ranked in the top 16 of ESPN’s Women’s Basketball Way-Too-Early Top 25, tied for the most of any league.
