Everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before freshman Emily McDonald made an splash for the Kentucky Wildcats women's basketball team . They might not have known what would happen on Wednesday night in game four of the season, though, when she would set a record, and lead her team to a 98-30 rout of Evansville. McDonald didn't check into the game until late in the first quarter, but she immediately hit her first three-pointer. By night's end, she had made nine shots from behind the arc, a new team record, and scored a team-leading 27 points. Though McDonald was the story, she wasn't the only Wildcat to excel. Me'Arah O'Neal also had a big game, shooting 6-of-7 from the field, and recording 18 points and 8 rebounds. Ajsa Sivka added 12 points. Clara Strack had 11 points and 3 blocks. This was a game against an less talented team that Kentucky was supposed to win, so it was more about finding a rhythm, and gaining valuable experience together. For McDonald, it was a breakout party, and the first of what will likely be many big games. This article originally appeared on UK Wildcats Wire: Kentucky WBB
