The margin reached 30 points early in the second half and 40 on a pair of free throws by junior guard Meagan Schultz with 8:17 remaining. Freshman forward Victoria Wynter scored her first points of the season on two free throws with 3:43 to play and was one of a dozen players on the team to score in the game.
