Scoring Milestone: Booker Passes Davis for Texas Third All-Time

Madison Booker scored 30 points on Saturday night, a performance that secured a 91-29 victory for the No. 6 Texas Longhorns over Northern Colorado. The total also moved her into third place on the university's all-time scoring list. With that night's output, Booker now holds 2,023 career points, surpassing Clarissa Davis, who finished her Texas career with 2,008.

Booker's efficiency drove the offensive surge. She finished 10 of 14 from the field, including two three-pointers, and distributed six assists. She left the game early in the fourth quarter after the gap had widened. Her 30 points bring her total for the two games played this week to 54, a rate that has defined her tenure as a two-time AP All-American.

Support around Booker came from the guard corps. Freshman Brihanna Crittendon contributed 13 points, while Addison Bjron added 11. Together, they made 10 of 13 shots. New starter Jayda Clark, who joined the program on Aug. 24, provided eight points in 14 minutes. Clark replaced guards Jordan Lee and Aaliyah Crump, who transferred to South Carolina and Duke earlier in the offseason.

Texas controlled the tempo from the opening tip. The Longhorns led 49-9 at halftime. Booker added 15 points in the third quarter, extending the lead to 72-18. Northern Colorado struggled against Texas' half-court pressure, shooting just 31.6% from the field. The Bears committed 32 turnovers, which Texas converted into 33 points.

The defensive scheme generated high-percentage chances for the offense. Texas shot 56% from the field and recorded 46 points in the paint. Mia Galbraith led Northern Colorado with seven points. The Bears, picked to finish third in the Big Sky Conference by league coaches, now hold a 1-1 record.

Texas will face a tougher challenge on Wednesday when it hosts South Dakota State. The Longhorns defeated South Dakota State by 19 points on the road last season. Northern Colorado returns to action Monday to host Northern New Mexico.
