NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Preseason All-American Mikayla Blakes scored 25 points while Aubrey Galvan and Aiyana Mitchell each had double-doubles as No. 8 Vanderbilt beat Morehead State 102-50 Monday night.
Blakes went 7 of 15 from the floor for the Commodores (3-0), who had little trouble with the Eagles (0-3). Vanderbilt scored the first 11 points and forced Morehead State into the first eight turnovers. Breayah Jefferson's jumper in the paint got Morehead State on the board with 5:21 left in the first quarter.
Vanderbilt finished with a 36-11 advantage in points off turnovers.
Blakes has scored 20 points or more in 18 consecutive games, leading active NCAA Division I players. The Commodores have started the season with three straight 100-point games — a team first — and earned their 23rd consecutive regular-season win over nonconference opponents.
Galvan, last season's Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year, had 18 points and 10 assists and connected on back-to-back 3s to close out the second quarter and give the Commodores a 53-26 lead.
Mia Woolfolk scored 20, with eight consecutive points in a 15-0 run as the third quarter ended with Vanderbilt up 81-41. Mitchell had 15 points and 10 rebounds.
Kensley Feltner scored 17 points for the Eagles.
It was the first meeting between the teams since 1989. Vanderbilt has won all three.
