Vandy's Mikayla Blakes Huge Stats in Paris Lead Commodores to Season-Opening Statement
Mikayla Blakes led Vanderbilt with 27 points in their season opener, stepping into a new leadership role as the team's top returning scorer.
- On Nov. 3, Mikayla Blakes scored 27 points as Vanderbilt Commodores women's basketball team opened the season beating Cal in Paris, France at the Oui-Play Paris event.
- As the Commodores' leading returning scorer, Mikayla Blakes is the only returning starter after other top scorers left or were injured last year, raising expectations after her FIBA Women's AmeriCup success with Team USA.
- Last week, Mikayla Blakes scored 40 points with eight rebounds and four assists in an exhibition against Memphis, drawing 16 fouls and going 11-for-13 from the free-throw line.
- Coach Shea Ralph plans to move Mikayla Blakes into a combo-guard role if Aubrey Galvan handles point guard duties, saying, 'Most of the time, what she says is right and needs to be heard.'
- After her AmeriCup MVP moment, Mikayla Blakes told The Tennessean, `It just showed me what it means to be at the top` and observers suggest this could be a breakout sophomore season on Vanderbilt campus.
