Grace College Lancers<\/a> set the new record for most points scored by a women\u2019s basketball team in a single game at any collegiate level, including NAIA, NCAA, and Divisions I, II, and III. <\/p>\nThe previous high score sat at 159, held by two schools in the NCAA and NAIA classes: Grambling for the NCAA, set in 2024; and Oklahoma Baptist for the NAIA, set in 1995. <\/p>\n
The new mark was set in the fourth quarter, after forward Emma Sperry \u201cdrove to the lane and hit a pull-up jumper to push the Lancers\u2019 total to 160, officially setting a new collegiate scoring record.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The record breaking doesn\u2019t stop there \u2013 Grace also set a record for most points scored in the first half of a game, clocking in at 93 points. The school says that was one point away from breaking the NCAA record set by UCONN in 2018. <\/p>\n
As the Lancers dominated the court, sophomore guard Maddy Poynter also made Grace College history, shooting an \u201ceye-popping\u201d 17 for 17 from the charity stripe and breaking the school\u2019s free throw record. <\/p>\n
Overall, Grace scored \u201can average 4.3 points per minute\u201d and scored over 46 points in three of the four quarters. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so proud of how this team has competed with joy,\u201d Grace head coach Dan Davis said in the school\u2019s game recap. \u201cThis is something really cool for us to look back on and see that we really accomplished something special as a group.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WINONA LAKE, Ind.
