Woolfolk, a transfer from Georgia, followed her 20-point performance against Morehead State on Monday with another efficient outing. She has scored in double figures in 17 consecutive games and has seven career performances of at least 20 points.
Vanderbilt shot 54.7% from the field and controlled the interior, outscoring Western Kentucky 64-20 in the paint. The Commodores also forced 22 turnovers and finished with a 29-2 advantage in points off turnovers.
