Colorado College 109, Tufts 82

MONMOUTH, Ill. — Monmouth College women\'s basketball coach Melissa Jones believes this could be a record-setting season for her Fighting Scots, and two marks nearly fell during the opening game of the Pizza Hut Classic Saturday night.
With their 97-40 win over Blackburn, the Scots fell five points shy of their single-game scoring record of 102 points, and they posted the second-largest margin of victory in school history. Only in a 81-14 win over Black Hawk East win the sports was in its infancy at Monmouth did the Scots win by more than their 57-point bulge over the Battlin\' Beavers.
Jones got 19 players into the contest and 14 of them scored, led by 18-point efforts by Ashley Yeast and Laura Jahn. Despite playing just 17 minutes, Yeast was able to log another double-double, as she also grabbed 11 boards. Elise Waldorf chipped in 10 points and Katie Sheets and Tanesha Hughes added nine points apiece off the bench.
After trailing by four early, the Scots got on a roll and never looked back. They used a 27-2 run to take control en route to a 52-25 halftime lead. In the next 10 minutes, they allowed just one hoop for Blackburn, going on a 30-3 blitz.
Blackburn\'s Jessy Hewitt scored all of her team-high 13 points in a row midway through the first half.
