MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) -- Glory Johnson scored 21 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, and sixth-ranked Tennessee beat Middle Tennessee 69-52 on Wednesday night before the first sellout crowd in Blue Raiders' history.
Pat Summitt hadn't brought her Lady Vols to Middle Tennessee since Nov. 26, 1979, when assistant Holly Warlick was a senior. Only 1,500 showed up that night for a Tennessee win. This time, Summitt came to play old friend Rick Insell's program, and 11,802 turned out to easily top the 10,010 when top-ranked Maryland visited Nov. 10, 2006.
Angie Bjorklund had 16 points and Shekinna Stricklen 12 for Tennessee (4-0).
Alysha Clark, the nation's leading scorer last season, finished with 23 for Middle Tennessee (2-2). Jackie Pickel added 16.
