Thanks to an explosive 28 point second quarter, Northwestern (5-0) rolled over UT-Martin (4-2) on Sunday afternoon. Abi Scheid, sporting a walking boot, joined Veronica Burton and a sparse Welsh-Ryan crowd in street clothes. But after an ugly first quarter, the Wildcats turned on the jets with transition offense and well-distributed scoring, pulling away for a 90-64 win.
Pallas Kunaiyi-Akpanah, despite playing just 22 minutes, led the way with 12 points, 16 rebounds, two blocks and three steals. Freshman Jess Sancataldo (pictured) poured in a career-high 20 points, with most of her points coming in the fourth quarter.
