Women

(3) Notre Dame 92, (8) Kentucky 83

Skylar Diggins' only 3-pointer Sunday was a big one, leading Notre Dame to a victory and handing Kentucky its first loss of the season.

Natalie Novosel led five players in double figures with 23 points, and Diggins (16 points, 11 assists) and Devereaux Peters (13 points, 13 rebounds) each had double-doubles for Notre Dame (10-1), which has won seven straight since losing to top-ranked Baylor.

Samantha Drake had 21 points for the Wildcats (10-1), who had tied Baylor and Vanderbilt for the second-longest winning streak in the country by opening the season with 10 straight victories.

Drake's layup gave Kentucky a 75-74 lead with 5:07 to play, but the Irish held the Wildcats to just two field goals the rest of the game.

Novosel made a pair of free throws and Peters scored on a layup to put the Irish up 78-75 with 4:09 to play. Kentucky's Bernisha Pinkett attempted a 3-pointer but it sailed over the rim and the Wildcats couldn't corral the rebound, watching helplessly as it rolled out of bounds.

After a timeout, Diggins coolly drilled a 3 and Novosel converted a pair of free throws. Peters then made an easy layup and, just like that, the Irish were back up 85-75 with 2:40 to play.

(11) Rutgers 62, Iona 29

April Sykes scored 18 points and Rutgers held Iona to just two baskets in the second half.

Rutgers (10-2) let a 23-15 halftime lead dwindle to four, missing 11 of its first 12 shots to start the second half. Freshman Betnijah Laney finally ended the drought, hitting a 3-pointer from the corner with 11:21 left. Then her classmates took over during a 36-7 run to close the game. Shakena Richardson had nine points during the spurt and Syessence Davis added five.

(16) Penn St. 103, Wagner 42

Alex Bentley and Maggie Lucas each scored 23 points to lead Penn State to the easy victory.

The Lady Lions (9-2) got off to a slow start, then put together a 33-3 run to take a 35-10 lead. Lucas capped the run with two free throws and had 18 points in the first half.

Veronick Fournier had 12 points and six rebounds for Wagner (2-8).

The Lady Lions held Wagner to 16 percent shooting in the first half and led 57-19 at the break, overwhelming the Seahawks with their athleticism. Penn State forced 24 turnovers and had 12 steals, sparked by ball pressure from guards Bentley, Zhaque Gray and Ariel Edwards.

South Carolina 79, No. 18 North Carolina 48

La'Keisha Sutton scored 21 points, Markeshia Grant added 20 and South Carolina held North Carolina to its lowest point total in nearly two years.

The Gamecocks (9-2) broke out to an 11-0 lead and never let off the gas pedal against the Tar Heels (7-2), who came in as the nation's highest-scoring team at 87.5 points a game.

Tar Heels coach Sylvia Hatchell brings her team to the Myrtle Beach Convention Center each year and had gone a decade since UNC's last loss to the Gamecocks, 85-53, in 2001.

Chey Shegog scored 17 points for the Tar Heels, whose point total was their lowest since an 88-47 loss to Connecticut on Jan. 9, 2010.

N.C. State 66, (20) Vanderbilt 59

Kody Burke scored a career-high 21 points and North Carolina State withstood a furious rally by Vanderbilt in the upset. Bonae Holston added 15 points and seven rebounds for the Wolfpack (7-3).

Stephanie Holzer had 15 points and Christina Foggie added 13 for Vanderbilt (10-1).

N.C. State took control with an early 21-4 run. The Wolfpack scored the final five points of the half and led 34-22 at intermission. Burke had 17 points in the first half.

(22) Purdue 62, Auburn 54

Alex Guyton scored a career-high 19 points and Purdue hit its free throws late in the game to hold on for the win.

After trailing by as many as 12 points in the second half, Auburn (6-3) cut the deficit to four with 4:41 to go but couldn't get any closer. The Boilermakers hit eight of their nine free throws in the final 4 minutes to seal it.

Senior guard Brittany Rayburn, recently diagnosed with pneumonia, came off the bench for the first time since her sophomore season and scored 15 points for the Boilermakers (8-3).

(25) Nebraska 94, Vermont 41

Jordan Hooper scored 21 points and Emily Cady had 18 for Nebraska, which broke away in the second half for the win.

The Cornhuskers (10-1) led by 13 points at the break and opened the second half with a 23-1 run, scoring seven points in the first 49 seconds.

The Catamounts (6-4) did not have a second-half basket until Nikki Taylor's layup with 13:10 remaining. They made just 4 of 33 shots in the period.

Lindsey Moore added 14 points and Rebecca Woodberry had 13 for the Huskers.

Sam Simononis led Vermont with 11 points.

Men

Oral Roberts 64, (8) Xavier 42

Dominique Morrison scored 19 points Sunday, leading Oral Roberts to a 64-42 victory over previously unbeaten and eighth-ranked Xavier, which couldn't do much with three of its starters suspended.

The Musketeers (8-1) didn't have point guard Tu Holloway, shooting guard Mark Lyons or freshman forward Dez Wells, who account for 40 percent of their points. The trio was suspended for a brawl eight days earlier against crosstown rival Cincinnati.

The depleted lineup couldn't get in sync or keep up with the experienced Golden Eagles (8-4), who start three seniors and two juniors.

Travis Taylor scored 11 points for Xavier, which lost for only the second time in the last 46 games at the Cintas Center. It was the Musketeers' worst loss at Cintas, which opened for the 2000-01 season.

Xavier had the week off since its 76-53 win over Cincinnati, a game that was called with 9.4 seconds left when the brawl broke out. Each team suspended four players.

(10) Missouri 94, William & Mary 56

Sixth-man Michael Dixon scored a career-high 30 points and Missouri is off to its best start in two decades.

Missouri (11-0) jumped to a 19-0 lead over the Tribe, who missed their first eight shots while committing five fouls and 10 turnovers and didn't score until nearly 12 minutes into the game. William & Mary (2-9) made just five first-half baskets. Kim English added 17 points for Missouri, which last started a season with 11 straight wins under coach Norm Stewart 20 years ago.
