NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Rashunda Jones scored 18 points for the No. 20 Michigan State women in an 85-50 win over Temple in their opening game of the Baha Mar Hoops Nassau Championship.
Jones was 5-of-8 shooting and 2 of 3 from 3-point range to go with four assists, three rebounds, and two steals for the Spartans (7-0). Grace VanSlooten and Marah Dykstra each tallied 11 points, two blocks and a steal, with VanSlooten adding a game-high 10 rebounds.
The Spartans never trailed, and took the lead for good on Jones’ layup 1:11 into the first quarter. They rode a 14-0 run starting late in the first quarter to a 30-12 lead and a 37-21 halftime lead. VanSlooten had nine points in the first quarter.
Saniyah Craig led the Owls with 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting. Kaylah Turner had 10 points, shooting 5 of 17, and tallying six rebounds with four turnovers.
The Owls (2-4) shot just 30% from the floor (19 for 64) and 11% from 3-point territory (2 for 18). The Spartans took advantage of 17 turnovers that they converted into 22 points.
