- The 172-point total surpasses the previous women’s collegiate single-game best of 159 held by Grambling (2024) and Oklahoma Baptist (1995).
- Coach Dan Davis said he was alerted to the 159-point benchmark entering the fourth quarter and pushed his team back into its press, resulting in 49 points in the final period.
- Grace shot 61-for-105 from the field and 40-for-44 at the line while going just 10-for-38 from three, piling up 100 points in the paint, 93 fast-break points and 36 second-chance points off 23 offensive boards.
- Maddy Poynter led with 34 points and a 17-for-17 free-throw mark for a school record as five players scored 20 or more and eight reached double figures; Morganne Houk added 20 points and eight assists.
- The NAIA program from Winona Lake, Indiana moved to 4-1 and leads the nation in scoring, drawing attention and questions about sportsmanship as Davis emphasized the team’s system, deep rotations and equal playing time; next up is Cleary University on Saturday.
