Vanderbilt’s Mikayla Blakes scored a Division I women’s freshman record 55 points on Sunday in a 98-88 overtime victory over Auburn.
Blakes, a 5-foot-8 guard who is averaging 21.8 points, shot 15 for 28 from the field with two 3-pointers and made 23 of 24 free throws. She broke the record set by Elena Delle Donne, who scored 54 as a redshirt freshman at Delaware in a 2010 loss to James Madison.
Ayoka Lee of Kansas State holds the NCAA Division I record for points in a game with 61, set in 2022.
