Three Demon Deacons recorded career-high performances, led by 19 points from freshman guard Milan Brown.
SAN JUAN, P.R. – The Wake Forest women's basketball team improved to 7-0 overall with a 93-35 victory over the Morgan State Bears, Wednesday afternoon at Coliseo Guillermo Angulo in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
This win marks the 200th career victory for head coach Megan Gebbia and also ties the best start since the Deacs (7-0) won 12 straight to start the season in the 2008-09 season. The 93 points mark the third-highest by a Gebbia coached team in her career, only scoring more against Queens (102 points on Nov. 4, 2024) and Saint Louis (94 points on Nov. 20, 2023).
The 58-point victory over the Bears (1-6) was the highest margin of victory over an opponent since defeating Queens on Opening Night of the 2024-25 season by 62 points.
The Demon Deacons were led by a trio of career-high efforts including a pair from freshmen guard Milan Brown and Caitlyn Jones. Brown posted a near double-double effort in the win with a game-high and career-high 19 points on a perfect 6-of-6 from the field while also going 7-of-8 from the free throw line. She was one rebound shy of her second career double-double, grabbing a team-high nine while also leading the way with six assists.
In total, the Deacs tallied a season-best 25 assists. Overall, Wake Forest had assists on 25-of-31 made baskets (80.7 pct.) on Wednesday night.
At the point, sophomore guard Aurora Sørbye and Jones each dished out five assists. Jones also recorded her first career-double-figure scoring game with 13 points on 3-of-5 shooting while also going 9-of-12 from the free throw line.
Sophomore Kennedy Moore also notched a career-high performance with 15 points and knocked down 3-of-4 of her three-point attempts. Moore reached double digits in her first nine minutes on the floor and finished the afternoon 6-for-11 from the field goals, with six rebounds.
All 11 players scored in the win. The Deacs shot 31-of-54 (57.4 pct.) from the field and 7-of-17 (41.2 pct.) from behind the arc.
How It Happened
Standout Stats
From Gebbia
"There is so much to be proud of in this one. We played great as a team and executed from the jump. Our freshmen had some great individual performances, and I was happy for Milan and Caitlyn to both get career highs tonight. Kennedy also really helped us set the tone early, and I'm proud of her career high tonight as well. We had a little spot there coming out of half where we needed to execute better, and we hope to get that corrected going into the next game tomorrow. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the way we moved the ball and how everyone contributed in some way to the win. Now, we need to carry that into a tough test tomorrow against UCF." - Megan Gebbia
