McKay's career night leads Auburn past Tennessee, 79-61

AUBURN, Ala. – Sophomore Janiah McKay scored a career-high 29 points to lead Auburn women’s basketball to its first win over Tennessee since 2009, a 79-61 victory at Auburn Arena Thursday night.

For the second straight game and third time this season, Auburn (14-5, 4-1 SEC) found itself down by 17 points, this time in the first quarter as the Lady Vols (11-7, 2-3) opened the game on a 25-8 run. But for the second straight game and third time this season, the Tigers overcame that deficit – and this time it only took one quarter.
