Harris leads No. 4 Xavier over MVSU 85-40

CINCINNATI (AP) - Amber Harris extended her point-a-minute spurt by scoring 16, and fourth-ranked Xavier brushed aside another overmatched opponent with an 85-40 win over Mississippi Valley State on Tuesday.

The Musketeers (6-0) moved up to No. 4 this week, their highest ranking in school history, and backed it up by winning for the fourth time in eight days.

Xavier has won 26 of 27 since last season, the only loss by a basket to Stanford in the NCAA regional finals. Harris returned for one more season to try to get the Musketeers to their first Final Four. During the last four games, the versatile forward has scored 83 points in only 86 minutes.

Ka'Neshia Smith led MVSU (1-4) with 14 points.
