Behind a school record 14 three-pointers, the Wright State women's basketball team rolled to an 81-54 victory at Buffalo Wednesday afternoon.
The Bulls led 17-16 with 11 minutes remaining in the first half until WSU took the lead for good with a 17-2 run, one that featured threes from Breanna Stucke, KC Elkins and Kayla Lamotte. Buffalo cut the deficit to 33-26 before the Raiders closed out the half with an 8-2 burst to go up 41-28 at the break.
The shooting percentages were nearly identical in the first half as Wright State shot 39 percent compared to Buffalo's 36 percent, but the Raiders were eight of 16 from behind the arc while the Bulls were one for five.
WSU scored the first nine points of the second half and led by as much as 30 twice, the second time in the final minute.
The 14 threes eclipse the previous school record of 13 set last January 8 at home against Valparaiso. WSU was 14 of 30 for the game and shot 39 percent overall while Buffalo shot 31 percent and was one of 10 from three. The Raiders outrebounded the Bulls 49-41, including 13-9 on the offensive glass, and led 20-3 in second-chance points.
Lamotte led the way with a career-high 15 points on a five-for-six performance from behind the arc, bettering the 13 she scored at Detroit last February 12. Molly Fox added 12 points and seven rebounds while Elkins hit four threes in scoring 12 off the bench. Altogether, each of the 11 players that Wright State dressed dented the scoring column.
Brittany Hedderson paced Buffalo (2-6) with 18 points, but no other Bull had more than seven.
Wright State (4-1) continues its five-game road swing on Saturday, December 3, with a 2:00 contest at Morehead State.
