Stiles on pace to break women's scoring mark

RECAP | BOX SCORE

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) -- Sharp-shooting Jackie Stiles, the nation's leading scorer, poured in 35 points Saturday and led Southwest Missouri State (No. 12 ESPN/USA Today, No. 13 AP) over Wichita State 76-60.

Stiles, averaging 31.8 points per game, is on a pace to break the NCAA women's career mark. With 2,870 points, she's 253 from passing the record set in 1989 by Patricia Haskins of Mississippi Valley State.

Stiles shot 9-for-11 from the field and 14-for-15 from the foul line. She made three 3-pointers.

The Lady Bears (14-3, 8-1 Missouri Valley Conference) fell behind 16-6. But Southwest Missouri State rallied with a 13-0 run on the way to a 42-27 halftime lead.

There were 52 fouls called, including 33 on Wichita State (6-11, 4-5). Raeven King fouled out just 19 seconds into the second half and teammates Jennifer Kaczka and Ranada Collins also fouled out.

Southwest Missouri made only five field goals, three of them by Stiles, in the second half, but the Lady Bears were 24-for-32 at the line.

Tara Mitchem shot 11-for-11 on free throws and finished with 17 points for the Lady Bears.

Angela Buckner had 17 points, 11 on free throws, and 12 rebounds for Wichita State.
