The 2025-26 NCAA Season brought some exciting plays and results as multiple stars shone for their teams, posing a strong challenge for the title. Azzi Fudd for the UConn Huskies, Lauren Betts for the UCLA Bruins, and Joyce Edwards for the LSU Tigers are on a scoring spree. Olivia Miles, though, stepped in when it mattered most and recorded a career-high 40 points against Baylor.
The defensively strong Baylor team had no answers for the 23-year-old guard, who matched Caitlin Clark’s record in the game. At the start of the season, Miles defended her move to TCU, and up till now, she has been on a roll for the Big 12 side.
Olivia Miles With Career High Night
One of the top guards from the class was always a threat to the opposition defenses, and Miles showed how she can expose the gaps in the top defending team with ease. She scored 40 points with a career-high 10 three-pointers, which is the highest number by an away team player in the NCAA in the last 25 years.
The star also matched Caitlin Clark’s record for most points in a quarter to help her side gain an advantage in the game. Along with her 40 points, the crafty guard dished out four assists and collected six rebounds in the game.
