DENVER — MSU Denver women's basketball (4-8 overall, 2-2 RMAC) delivered a historic performance Saturday afternoon, rolling to a 121-49 dominant victory over Manhattan Christian (5-9 overall, 1-1 MCC) in a game that rewrote the program record book from start to finish. The Roadrunners came out firing, built an early cushion behind elite ball movement and shot-making, and never allowed the Thunder on a path back into the contest.
From the opening tip, MSU Denver's offense was operating at a blistering pace. The Roadrunners shot an incredible 69.6 percent from the field, the highest mark in program history, while knocking down 48 field goals — another new school record. Their unselfish play was on full display as they piled up 39 assists, the most ever recorded by a Roadrunners team, consistently finding open shooters and high-percentage looks in transition and the half court.
The scoring balance was just as impressive. All 10 players who saw action scored at least six points, underscoring the depth and efficiency of the lineup. Five Roadrunners finished in double figures, fueling the most points scored in a single game in program history and producing the second-largest margin of victory the program has ever seen.
Individually, several standout performances highlighted the night. Nevaeh Millard led the way with a career-high 29 points, putting together one of the most efficient games in recent memory by going 11-of-12 from the field. Lex Trujillo added a career-best 18 points and knocked down five three-pointers, tying the season-high for MSU Denver — a mark previously set by Sarah Nocke against New Mexico Highlands.
Mikylah Espinosa continued her sharp shooting stretch, finishing a perfect 4-for-4 from beyond the arc. It marked her second consecutive game with four made three-pointers, further stretching opposing defenses and adding to the Roadrunners' perimeter dominance. As a team, MSU Denver connected on 16 three-pointers, just one shy of the program record.
The Roadrunners were also strong on the glass, pulling down 52 rebounds — their most in a game since the 2022-23 season — which helped sustain offensive pressure and limit second-chance opportunities. Combined with the record-setting efficiency and ball movement, it was a complete performance on both ends of the floor.
By the final horn, MSU Denver had firmly established one of the most memorable days in program history. They now head into the holiday break and will return back to action in early January.
