Women’s Basketball Storms Back in Heartbreaker to West Virginia State

INSTITUTE, W. Va. - Trailing by around 20 points in the second half, Davis & Elkins did not go quietly in a 103-101 road loss to West Virginia State in women's basketball action on Wednesday night inside the Walker Convocation Center.

D&E used an offensive onslaught in the fourth quarter to quickly whittle down a large deficit into a slim lead with just under five minutes remaining. Jessica Eadsforth-Yates canned the go-ahead bucket for the Senators, but Jay Kilpatrick also found her touch from beyond the arc in the late surge.

Jamiyah Johnson recorded a career-high 35 points and added added 21 rebounds (15 offensive) for her ninth double-double of the season, but West Virginia State made some timely shots late coupled with some defensive stops to escape with the victory.

Eadsforth-Yates added 17 points and six rebounds and Kilpatrick posted 13 points in 20 minutes. Sydney Nestor and Peyton Mohler also worked their way into double digits, posting 14 and 11 points respectively. Nestor and Abbie Bartenslager pulled down five rebounds apiece. 

Payton Shears, the reigning MEC Women's Basketball Player of the Week for West Virginia State, poured in 19 points in 18 minutes. The Yellow Jackets had six players in double figures in a balanced output and used some big runs to close the first half and in the third quarter to build its lead.

  • Johnson posted her second 30-point effort of the season, previously firing home 31 points against Urbana on December 14.
