The Mountaineer defense stiffened in the second half, and the offense got off the ground, but CCU also outscored the visitors 30-23 in the second.
Sydnie Lengyel (So., Tempe, Arizona) led the Mountaineers in scoring with nine points. Lengyel also led all players in rebounds, grabbing 10 off the glass.
CCU's Kayla Fakelman led the game in scoring with 20 points.
