Miller and Goodwin made back-to-back 3-pointers to spark a 21-12 surge that stretched the Cowgirls’ two-point lead to 74-63 with 2:46 left.
WVU pulled six points behind with 40 seconds left before Miller and Jensen combined for 5-of-6 shooting at the line to seal it.
Naomi Davenport scored 25 points and Teana Muldrow had 19 points and 11 rebounds to lead WVU.
WVU got only five points from its bench. Ashley Jones scored three points and Destiny Harden added a basket.
