KNOXVILLE - Building a 15-point lead after the first quarter was all the University of Tennessee women's basketball team needed in cruising to a 77-52 victory over Lipscomb on Monday night at Thompson-Boling Arena.
The Lady Vols improved to 6-1 and will now turn their attention to Southeastern Conference play, which will be anything but easy out of the gate. Tennessee is scheduled to travel to No. 9 Texas A&M on Thursday before hosting No. 13 Kentucky on Sunday.
Rennia Davis led the Lady Vols with 19 points and 11 rebounds, while Rae Burrell added 10. Kasiyahna Kushkituah and Tamari Key each tallied nine, and every active Tennessee player scored at least two points.
Taylor Clark led Lipscomb, which dropped to 3-3, with 14 points and four rebounds.
