The Mike Carey era has brought
unprecedented postseason
success to the West Virginia
University women’s basketball
program. In the last eight years
the Mountaineers have advanced
to five NCAA Tournaments (2004,
2007, 2008, 2010, 2011) with two
postseason WNIT appearances
(2005, 2009).
WVU’s consecutive NCAA second
round appearances in 2007 and
2008 marked the first time in
school history the Mountaineers
had advanced to back-to-back
NCAA tournaments and they did
so again in 2010 and 2011.
West Virginia reeled off four-straight
wins, its longest postseason win
streak, to advance to the 2005
WNIT championship game.
WVU’s five-straight postseason
appearances (2007-11) are a
school record.
