LEXINGTON - The No. 2 nationally ranked Transylvania Pioneers defeated Anderson University 74-34 to earn their 46th consecutive victory, tying the University of Tennessee's 46 game win streak set in the 1996-1998 seasons. Five different Pioneers reached double-figure scoring in the win, with
Sydney Wright and
Kennedi Stacy both leading the way with 12 points.
Transylvania's defense held Anderson to 6 second quarter points and went into the half up 39 to 17. The No. 1 defense in the country continued to wear teams out, this time holding Anderson to just 33.3% shooting in the first half and 26.8% the entire game.
Transy's defense accounted for 19 Raven turnovers, and scored 30 points from them. The Pioneers scored 26 points off the bench and dominated in the paint, scoring 22 of their 74 points in the paint.
Transylvania outscored Anderson 35 to 17 in the second half to earn the 40 point win, their highest margin of victory since the 75-29 win at Bluffton on December 18th.
Sierra Kemelgor scored a season high 10 points on 3 for 4 shooting from behind the arc. She went 1 of 2 from the free throw line in the win. Transylvania shot 41.3% from the floor.
Dasia Thornton scored 10 points, extending her double-figure scoring streak to 13 games. The win is Head Coach
Juli Fulks' 382nd career win.
Transylvania will look to extend their win streak to 47 games and tie UConn's 47 game streak set between 2013-2015 when they take on Hanover at the Clive M. Beck Center this Wednesday at 7 PM.
