MISSOULA, Mont. – No. 24 Arizona won their sixth-straight game to start the season and took down Montana by a score of 77-42 on the road. Four Wildcats finished in double-figures and were paced by Aari McDonald with 19 points.

The defense was once again suffocating as Montana shot just 24.5% from the field while Arizona outrebounded the Lady Griz 46-27. Arizona took advantage of their abilities in the paint, outscoring Montana 42-16 inside and shot 52% from the field.

Arizona got out to a 14-0 lead to start the game and never looked back as the lead never got under 12 points.

McDonald (19), Helena Pueyo (14), Cate Reese (13) and Sam Thomas (12) were Arizona's four double-figure scorers. Pueyo's 14 points is a new career high.

Six Wildcats grabbed at least five rebounds with Reese bringing down a game-high eight.

Player of the Game
Aari McDonald – The junior scored 10 first-quarter points and was the usual ignition to Adia Barnes 7 co. She hit the boards well once again, bringing down seven boards to go along with a pair of steals.

By the Numbers
6 – For the first time since 1999, Arizona has started off the season with six-consecutive victories.

Frameworthy
