The Kansas State women’s basketball team used potent long-range shooting as it jumped all over Mississippi Valley State in a 64-57 victory Friday night in Manhattan.

Brittany Chambers made two of the Wildcats’ three-pointers in the first 1:09 of the game then added another before the first media timeout as K-State jumped ahead 14-0. After the Devilettes scored a basket, Chambers drained another pair of three-pointers to make it a 20-2 lead.

Chambers was seven of 11 from long range and the Wildcats made a total of nine shots from beyond the arc. K-State, 5-0, has made at least one three-pointer in 179 consecutive games dating to Feb. 7, 2007.

K-State led 43-21 at the half, but Mississippi Valley State chipped away and cut the lead to four points with 6:11 left in the game. But Chambers responded with — you guessed it — another three-pointer. Ashia Wood and Kendra Spresser made two-point baskets and Chambers added another trey as part of the 10-0 run that put the game away.

Chambers finished with 25 points, while Haley Texada added 12, and Woods had 10 points and seven rebounds.

Head coach Deb Patterson is 99-9 (.917) against non-conference opponents in Bramlage.
