OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) – Silas Ardoin’s double scored two numbers directly and Texas, the best seed, stood by to beat eighth seed West Virginia 3-2 to be eliminated in the Big 12 Conference Tournament.
The Longhorns advance to the semi-finals to face fourth seed Oklahoma State on Saturday.
Texas (42-14) had 10 goals, withdrew 14 goals and controlled only three hits against the Mountaineers. Ardoin shot his for his first of the tournament and went on with runners in the moment and 3rd goals.
Previously, in the most sensible of the fifth with the 1-2 count and two outs, left-back Matt McCormick drove a brittle ball for a hit on the left-area line to score runners at the time and the third to put West Virginia forward 2-1.
