LINCOLN, PA -- North Carolina Central University senior guard Jennifer Hukill broke the school's single-game record with nine three-point field goals to lead the Lady Eagles to their first road win of the season, a 67-62 victory over Lincoln University of Pennsylvania on Friday.

Hukill, a 5-6 native of Greensboro, N.C., scored a career-high 33 points on 10-of-21 shooting from the field, including 9-of-15 from long range, and 4-of-6 from the free throw line.
