The Kentucky women’s basketball team was still searching for their first true road win of the season entering Saturday. They had a neutral site win over Illinois, and loss at North Carolina previously. Kenny Brooks and his squad got it done at Purdue, however, beating the Boilermakers 82 – 52.
Purdue started hot and led after the first quarter. In the second, though, Kentucky turned it around. They led 32 – 23 at the half.
The second half saw the Wildcats pull away. They won both the third and fourth quarters by at least 10 points, and finished with a 30 point win.

Kentucky will play Belmont in their next game. That will be on December 20th.
