In an impressive display of skill and teamwork, the Lady Vols basketball team triumphed over North Carolina Central with a staggering score of 139-59 on Saturday at the Food City Center. This remarkable victory not only showcased their dominance on the court but also set a new NCAA record for the most three-pointers made in a single game, with an astonishing total of 30 shots from beyond the arc.
In addition to breaking the NCAA record, the Lady Vols also established new benchmarks for both the school and Southeastern Conference (SEC) by scoring the highest points ever recorded in a game. This victory marked their eighth consecutive win at home, extending their impressive home record to 8-0 since the previous season.
Head coach Kim Caldwell, in her inaugural season at the University of Tennessee, has made history by achieving the best start for a Lady Vols coach, celebrating her eighth victory as she leads the team. The remarkable achievement of sinking 30 three-pointers not only rewrote the program’s record books but also set new standards for the SEC and NCAA. Furthermore, the Lady Vols attempted 63 shots from long range, which also broke both program and conference records.
This latest score surpassed the previous high of 133 points, which the team had achieved during the San Juan Shootout on November 29, 2002, marking a significant milestone in the history of Lady Vols basketball.
