WACO, Texas (AP) – In the biggest Division I women’s basketball rout ever, No. 3 Baylor overwhelmed Winthrop 140-32 Thursday.

The 108-point margin of victory surpassed the 102 set by Grambling when it beat Jarvis Christian College 139-37 in 1986.

Baylor (11-1) led 77-18 at halftime and outscored the Eagles 29-0 in the fourth quarter.

Baylor coach Kim Mulkey substituted freely throughout the game and no one played more than 21 minutes. Leading scorer Alexis Jones rested and didn’t play at all.

Khadijiah Cave had a career-high 25 points to lead five double-figure scorers. Baylor set school single-game records for points, rebounds (75) assists (42) and blocked shots (17).
