Rayburn's 12 3s Help No. 17 Purdue Women Top Minn.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Brittany Rayburn tied an NCAA women's record with 12 3-pointers and scored 38 points to help the No. 17 Purdue Boilermakers cruise to a 72-55 win over Minnesota on Thursday night.

Rayburn was 12 for 16, all from beyond the arc, to lead Purdue (14-3, 4-0 Big Ten) to its seventh straight win. Rayburn equaled the mark set by Louisiana State's Cornelia Gayden in 1995.

KK Houser added 10 points and 10 assists for the Boilermakers.

Katie Loberg led Minnesota (10-8, 2-2) with 18 points.
