Shaw&#8217;s performance was especially impressive, finishing with a team-leading plus-19 rating. Five total Mountaineers scored in double figures, showcasing the depth of <b>West Virginia&#8217;s<\/b> roster. The balanced scoring attack prevented <b>Arizona<\/b> from focusing defensive energy on any single player.<\/p>\n<p>Shaw&#8217;s shooting prowess shone brightest in transition. She drilled three-pointers from the left wing, right wing, and top of the key throughout the game.

The <b>Mountaineers<\/b> forced <b>29 Arizona turnovers<\/b> while converting them into <b>38 points<\/b>. Early in the first quarter alone, <b>West Virginia<\/b> forced six turnovers in just three minutes using their aggressive press. Arizona struggled handling the intensity, coughing up the basketball repeatedly in scoring position.<\/p>\n<p><b>Jordan Harrison<\/b> and <b>Sydney Woodley<\/b> recorded multiple steals, creating transition opportunities. WVU&#8217;s second quarter was particularly dominant, outscoring <b>Arizona 27-9<\/b> while cashing in on five of eight three-point attempts. By halftime, the <b>Mountaineers<\/b> had scored 23 points off 15 <b>Wildcat<\/b> turnovers.
