TUCSON, Ariz. -- Cate Dell'Orso and Maya Nnaji led the charge as No. 24 Arizona Wildcats dominated Davidson 104-79 on Sunday night at McKale Center.

Dell'Orso's Scoring Outburst

Dell'Orso unloaded a career-high 31 points, shooting 11-of-19 from the field and 5-of-10 from three-point range. Her offensive efficiency was a key factor in Arizona's early lead.

"Cate was on fire tonight," said Arizona coach Adia Barnes. "She hit some tough shots and got us going."

Nnaji's Inside Dominance

Nnaji's presence in the paint was equally impactful for Arizona. She recorded 28 points, 12 rebounds, and five blocks, controlling the game inside.
