CANTON, Ohio -
Baylee Bennett surpassed 1,000 career points for her Cedarville career and matched the school-record for three-point accuracy in a game to lead the Lady Jackets to a 79-61 G-MAC victory at Malone.
Bennett went five-for-five from deep and scored 17 points for CU, 10-2 overall and 6-0 G-MAC.
She's scored 1,002 points during her three-year Lady Jacket career as the 26th member of the 1,000 Point Club.
Bennett's three-ball midway through the second quarter gave Cedarville the lead for good. The visitors built the advantage to 36-27 by halftime and to as much as 18 in the fourth quarter.
Ashlyn Huffman tallied 14 points and handed out a career-high nine assists.
Abby Wolford chipped in 13 points and five rebounds.
The Lady Jackets controlled the boards, 39-24, with the +15 rebounding margin a season-high.
