Jence Rhoads scored 18 of her career-high 25 points in the second half to help Vanderbilt beat 17th-ranked Kentucky 68-55 on Sunday.

Meredith Marsh added 11 points, including a pair of 3-pointers, for the Commodores (18-7, 7-5 Southeastern Conference). Lauren Lueders had 10 points, making three 3-pointers.

The Wildcats (21-4, 9-3), led by Victoria Dunlap's 19 points, saw their eight-game conference win streak end but remained in second place. A'dia Mathies contributed 13 points for Kentucky.

Rhoads, who missed two games after suffering a broken hand in the loss at Kentucky last month, put the Commodores up 51-42 on layup after an outlet pass from Lueders. Vanderbilt outscored the Wildcats 16-7 when Kentucky went nearly 7 minutes without a field goal.
