Mia Woolfolk scores 27 as No. 8 Vanderbilt beats Western Kentucky 101-59

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Mia Woolfolk netted 27 points as No. 8 Vanderbilt defeated Western Kentucky 101-59 on Wednesday. The Commodores, currently ranked fourth in the nation in points per game, claimed their fourth consecutive 100-point scoring win. Aubrey Galvan led the charge with 19 points, including five three-pointers in the first half, while preseason All-American Mikayla Blakes contributed 12 points.

However, Blakes' 18-game streak of scoring at least 20 points came to an end. Western Kentucky, which opened the game with two three-pointers from guard Trinity Rowe, rallied but was unable to keep up with Vanderbilt's dominant performance. The Lady Toppers scored just five points in the final quarter as Vanderbilt extended their lead to 57-25 at halftime.

Vanderbilt's transition game was particularly effective, forcing 22 turnovers by Western Kentucky and converting 29 points off turnovers. Western Kentucky will next play Kentucky State, while Vanderbilt faces No. 10 Iowa in their first away game of the season.
