A scuffle following the end of WVU’s 59-56 victory over Hawaii marred the trip the Mountaineer women’s basketball team made to the islands over the weekend. Reports in the Honolulu Star Advertiser indicate a University of Hawaii fan came out of the stands to confront someone on the WVU bench. Mountaineer head coach Mike Carey told the paper the fan had been heckling the team the entire game.
“He came down from the stands trying to go after my assistant coach,” Carey told the Star Register. “That’s what happened. Then someone grabbed him and stopped him. He kept trying to go, and people fell. That’s when the commotion started.”
Carey told the paper that his wife fainted during the fracas . The paper indicated that Cheryl Carey recovered while on site and was okay.
