<span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><b>ORLANDO –</b> No. 12 Baylor women’s basketball had a dominate wire-to-wire game over UCF at Addition Financial Arena, defeating the Knights by 30 on Sunday
afternoon, 93-63<br>
<br>
The Bears were led by five in double-figure scoring as Taliah Scott had a game-high 26, Kayla Nelms scored 12, Bella Fontleroy tabbed 11 and Jana Van Gytenbeek and Darianna Littlepage-Buggs each sunk 10. <br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 16.1px;">Baylor created early separation with a 10-0 run in the first quarter and took a 27-13 lead into the break between periods.
Scott scored 12 points in the opening frame while Fontleroy added seven as the Bears went 12-of-19 from the field. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 16.1px;">Yuting Deng opened the second quarter with a 3-pointer, and Nelms followed with a putback less than a minute later. Scott then
converted a four-point play to push Baylor’s lead to 23 and force a UCF timeout. </span></p>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 16.1px;">Baylor did not commit a turnover until nearly 14 minutes ticked off the game clock while turning 12 first‑half UCF giveaways into
18 points. Scott finished the half with 21 points on 7-of-8 shooting in 15 minutes as the Bears held a 52-23 lead at halftime. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br>
