AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Jayda Clark scored 24 points to lead No. 7 Texas to a 93-63 victory over South Dakota State after losing All-American forward Madison Booker to an injury late in the first half.

Clark, a 21-year-old sophomore who came to Texas this season from Australia, scored 14 in the third quarter, converting all six of her shots, including two 3-pointers.

Texas (3-0) hit 12 of 14 from the field in the period, outscoring South Dakota State 29-18 without Booker. Clark finished 10 for 15 from the field, including 3 of 4 from distance.

Booker, a two-time AP All-American, left the game with 1:30 remaining in the first half when she landed hard on her back after getting fouled by Mahli Abdouch while making a layup. Texas did not immediately provide an update on her injury during the game.

Zya Vann scored 14 for Texas, while Bryanna Preston provided 11 points. Center Breya Cunningham finished with 10 points. Cunningham and her backup, freshman Isi Etute, combined to limit South Dakota State star Brooklyn Meyer to nine points, six fewer than her average.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Mia Woolfolk scored 27 points as Vanderbilt cruised to a win over Western Kentucky.

Vanderbilt (4-0), which entered the game fourth in the nation in points per game, had its fourth straight 100-point scoring night, a first for the Commodores.

Aubrey Galvan had a lot to do with it. The Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year last season, Galvan scored 19, including 5 of 7 on 3-pointers in the first half. One of her 3s, midway through the second quarter, barely moved the net.

Preseason All-American Mikayla Blakes had 12 points but her nation-leading streak of 18 straight games with at least 20 points ended. She struggled from the floor, shooting 6 of 15 and 0 of 5 on 3-point tries.
