AKRON, Ohio — It was the Tinara Moore show in Akron’s James A. Rhodes Arena on Saturday.

The 6-foot-3 sophomore forward poured in 35 points and grabbed 20 rebounds – both career-highs – in leading the Central Michigan women’s basketball team to 97-77 rout of Akron in a Mid-American Conference game.

Moore made all 16 of her field goal attempts, becoming just the second player in NCAA Division I women’s basketball history to finish a perfect performance in so many attempts. Kelly Mago of Missouri State accomplished the feat in a 1988 game against Bradley.
