EDINBURG, Texas — Payton Hull became Abilene Christian women's basketball's Division I leader in field goals in the Wildcats' 76-59 win over UT Rio Grande Valley on Wednesday night. Hull connected on eight baskets at UTRGV Fieldhouse to give her 542 for her career, surpassing Alexis Mason's mark of 541 established in 2017.

The Wildcats (3-0) picked up their fifth straight win over the Vaqueros and registered 3-0 starts in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2020-21 and 2021-22. ACU pounded beneath the basket with 44 points in the paint. It used a 17-0 first-quarter run to grab an early 24-6 lead and never looked back.

The Wildcats wrap up their three-game road trip in Fort Worth, Texas on Sunday against No. 15 TCU. Tipoff from Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena is set for 2 p.m.

Hull led ACU's scoring for the third time this season with 20 points at an 8-of-15 clip. She sank a pair of three-pointers and paced the team with four assists and four steals. Erin Woodson followed with 14 points, five rebounds, four assists and a pair of blocks.

Meredith Mayes improved to 15 of 16 from the field this season with a 5-for-5 showing on Wednesday, good for 13 points. She brought down seven boards with three assists and two blocks. Raimi McCrary, an Incarnate Word transfer, scored a season-high 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting, including a 2-of-3 clip from beyond the arc.

It didn't take long for ACU to set the tone. After falling behind 4-2, the Wildcats trailed for just 15 seconds, rattling off 17 points in a row across seven minutes to make it a one-sided affair. Hull and McCrary combined for 17 points with three made field goals apiece as ACU took a 24-6 edge through the first period. Conversely, it limited UTRGV to just one made basket on 13 shots. The Vaqueros were 0 for 7 from long distance.

The Wildcats shot 50% for the second quarter in a row and scored the final five points of the second period to take a 41-21 lead into halftime. Hull and Woodson scored five points apiece with Hull also dishing out a pair of assists. Woodson was on the receiving end of three fouls and made three of four at the charity stripe.

ACU's lead grew to a game-high 24 points less than a minute into the third quarter thanks to layups by Hull and Mayes. The Wildcats maintained their advantage as both squads scored 21 points in the third period. Mayes was a perfect 3 of 3 for eight points and drew three fouls. She also passed for a pair of assists as 16 of ACU's points came in the paint.

Each of the Wildcats' 12 available players saw action in the fourth quarter, with sophomore forward Emma Daugherty making her first appearance since suffering an injury last season on Feb. 7. Seven ACU players logged points in the quarter, with a 6-0 run extending the Wildcats' lead back to 24 points. Freshman Salena Carrasco recorded her first career points with a couple of free throws.
