I haven't watched the GSU women play nearly as much as the men over the last decade and a half, but despite that, I still feel comfortable in saying this was their most impressive victory during that time frame.
[UPDATE: It's the largest margin of victory for the program since 2002 - georgiastatesports.com]
Just a thoroughly dominant performance by the Panthers, who won their third straight, 87-35.
Monroe led briefly, at 13-12 on a corner three from Gabriella Cortez with about two minutes to play in the opening quarter, but that was it for the visitors. It was a 19-15 game very early in the second before GSU went on a 45-3 run (I felt silly just typing those numbers), and led 64-18 with 52 seconds left in the third. During that long run, Monroe went nearly 13 minutes without a field goal.

GSU's defense was outstanding, forcing 25 turnovers (on 18 steals), holding Monroe to 26 percent shooting and out-rebounding its Sun Belt rival 45-24. Its offense wasn't too shabby either, shooting 51% and 10 different players handed out at least one assist.
Reserve Makeba Ponder led all scorers with 16 points on 4-of-7 shooting from three.
