Sacha Washington finished with 14 points, while Jada Brown, Ndjakalenga Mwenentanda, and Justine Pissott each added 12.

Defensively, Vanderbilt overwhelmed Stonehill by forcing 35 turnovers, converting them into 46 points. Brown led all players with six steals, while Blakes and Aubrey Galvan each recorded five steals and seven assists. Vanderbilt also controlled the paint, scoring 64 points near the basket.

The Commodores seized control early, racing to a 34–6 advantage after the first quarter and heading into halftime with a commanding 60–17 lead. They maintained the momentum for the remainder of the game, leading for nearly the entire contest.

Stonehill (4–7) was paced by Julia Webster, who scored 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting.

Vanderbilt will open Southeastern Conference play on Thursday with a road matchup against Arkansas. Stonehill returns to action Friday at New Haven to begin Northeast Conference competition.
