FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Mikayla Blakes had 35 points, a career-high tying eight assists and three steals, Sacha Washington added 12 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks, and No. 13 Vanderbilt beat Arkansas 88-71 on Thursday in the SEC opener for both teams.
Vanderbilt (14-0) is off to the best start in program history. The Commodores won 13 straight to open the 1992-93 and 1995-96 seasons.
Aubrey Galvan hit four 3-pointers and finished with 14 points and six assists for Vanderbilt.
Arkansas (11-4) jumped to an 11-5 lead when Bonnie Deas made a driving layup about 4 1/2 minutes into the game but the Commodores answered with a 15-1 run over the next four minutes. Galvan capped the spurt with a 3-pointer that made it 20-12 and Vanderbilt led by double figures the rest of the way.
Taleyah Jones made five 3s and finished with 24 points on 8-of-13 shooting for the Razorbacks. Jenna Lawrence added 13 points, eight rebounds and two blocks.
Blakes, a 5-foot-8 sophomore who tied her season high for points, has eight career 30-point games, three this season.
The Commodores hit 12 3-pointers and forced 22 turnovers, which included 11 steals.
