MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Ayoka Lee had 25 points to lead six Kansas State women in double-figures scoring, and the No. 10 Wildcats rolled to a 111-46 win over Milwaukee on Wednesday night.
Jaelyn Glenn added 17 points, Serena Sundell had 16 and Zyanna Walker finished with 13 points for the Wildcats (5-0), who now face a much stiffer test in No. 14 Duke on Monday night in the Ball Dawgs Classic near Las Vegas.
Kansas State opened the game on a 20-4 run and led 27-11 after the first period, then stretched their advantage to 54-18 by the halftime break. Milwaukee (2-4) never was able to slow down the Wildcats the rest of the way in the lopsided game.
The Wildcats, who have won all five of their games by at least 18 points, won for the 400th time in Bramlage Coliseum.
Jorey Buwalda was Milwaukee’s leading scorer with eight points.
