LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Clara Strack scored 26 points and the No. 12 Kentucky women hit 10 3-pointers in the first half in a 96-53 win over Wright State on Friday night.
The Wildcats (12-1) went on a 22-0 run in the second quarter, fueled by five 3-pointers — two by Kaelyn Carroll, and one each from Strack, Josie Gilven and Asia Boone. Kentucky was up 57-24 in the first half, the most the Wildcats have scored in a first half this season.
Carroll and Boone each hit three 3-pointers total in the first half.
Kentucky finished the game on a 13-2 run, keeping Wright State (5-9, 1-2 Horizon League) off the board for almost all of the last five minutes. The Wildcats shot 33 of 74 (45%) from the field.
Tonie Morgan and Carroll both scored 18 points in the win. Boone added 17 for the Wildcats. Strack shot 9 of 18 from the field and was 7 of 9 from the free throw line. Kentucky is now 12-1 for the second straight year to start the season.
Wright State opened the scoring for the game off a 3-pointer from Abbie Riddle and led for the first 2:48, until Morgan hit a jumper to take the lead for Kentucky. Riddle and Claire Henson led the Raiders in scoring with 10 points each.
