CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) --- Ajsa Sivka scored 32 points and matched a program
record with eight 3-pointers in her third collegiate game, and 14th-ranked
Kentucky breezed to a 93-78 victory over No. 25 N.C. State on Sunday at the
fourth annual Ally Tipoff.
Sivka, a 6-foot-5 guard from Slovenia, made 11 of 17 shots for the Wildcats
(3-0) at the double-header event that features top-ranked programs. She sank 8
of 12 from 3-point range and snagged five rebounds. Sivka's eight makes from
distance matched Rhyne Howard's single-game school record.
Clara Strack totaled 24 points on 10-for-15 shooting for Kentucky with eight
rebounds, four assists and two blocks. Savvy Swords pitched in with 14 points
off the bench.
Khamil Pierre led the Wolfpack (2-1) with 34 points. The senior, who scored a
career-high 42 points as a sophomore, made 12 of 25 shots and 9 of 13 free
throws. Zoe Brooks went 11 for 13 at the foul line and scored 13.
The Wildcats outscored N.C. State 27-20 in the second quarter to turn a
five-point first-quarter lead into a 56-44 advantage at halftime.
Kentucky cooled off in the second half but still shot 53% overall. The Wildcats
made 18 of 39 from beyond the arc (46%), while the Wolfpack shot 3 for 11 from
distance.
N.C. State dominated in the paint, outscoring Kentucky 34-20 and the Wolfpack
turned 15 turnovers by the Wildcats into 13 points. Kentucky scored six points
off five N.C. State miscues.
