KNOXVILLE – Rennia Davis scored 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and Chattanooga native Jazmine Massengill had a career-high 16 points as the 23rd-ranked Tennessee women’s basketball team bounced back from its first loss of the season with a 79-41 blowout of cold-shooting Colorado State on Wednesday night at Thompson-Boling Arena.
The Lady Volunteers (8-1) played three days after falling 66-60 to Texas as part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge.

Davis, a 6-foot-2 junior, increased her career scoring total to 1,009 and became the 46th player in program history to reach the 1,000-point mark.
Massengill, a 6-foot sophomore who prepped at Hamilton Heights Christian Academy, was 7-for-12 from the field. She also grabbed six rebounds to help the Lady Vols finish with a whopping 57-24 advantage on the glass, and she had three assists, one steal and a block.
