AAU Alumni, Ayoka Lee sets NCAA Division I Women's Basketball record with 61-point game

Kansas State junior center Ayoka Lee said she thought it would be just another Sunday. Instead, she put herself into the NCAA Division I women's basketball record book for the most points ever scored in a game: 61.

Lee scored almost as many points herself as foe Oklahoma did as a team, with the unranked Wildcats beating the No. 14 Sooners 94-65 at Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, Kansas.

"I didn't come in expecting to break a record," Lee said. "I think [it was] just sticking to our game plan, running what we needed to run, and our guards did amazing.

"In my mind, I'm just thinking about keeping my position, posting up strong, knowing where my defender is, where the help is coming from and going up strong."

The former D-I women's record of 60 points was held by Long Beach State post player Cindy Brown (set in 1987) and Minnesota guard Rachel Banham (2016).
