LEBANON, Tenn. -- The Indiana Wesleyan University women's basketball team tied a program record with 15 3-pointers in a 67-47 victory over Trevecca Nazarene (Tenn.) University in the Rosa Stokes Classic in Lebanon, Tennessee.
It is the fourth time the Wildcats have connected on 15 3-point baskets in a single game, with the last coming during the 2006-07 national championship season against Malone (Ohio) University.
Senior guard Kayla Thompson led the air raid with a career-high seven 3-pointers on 11 attempts, besting her previous high of six accomplished last season. Thompson ended the game with a game-high and season-best 23 points.

Today, Indiana Wesleyan (14-2) scored the game's first 12 points and was never seriously threatened the rest of the contest. Trevecca Nazarene would get no closer than six points the entire day.

Complimenting Thompson from beyond the arc was junior guard Stephanie Burtch. She finished with 14 points but did nearly all her damage in the opening half with 12 points. Burtch hit on 4-of-6 baskets from deep, with 4-of-5 coming in the first half.
Trevecca Nazarene (3-8) scored the first five points of the second half to close the gap to 37-31.
