Tori Jankoska scored 42 points, breaking Michigan State’s single-game and all-time scoring record in a 94-75 win over No. 11 Ohio State on Tuesday night. The 5-foot-8 senior guard started the night six points away from Aerial Powers’ scoring record of 1,817 and needed just a few minutes to surpass her with two 3-pointers and a layup. She scored her final point on a free throw with 3:34 left, breaking Maxann Reese’s mark of 41 points on Jan. 29, 1999, against Iowa. Jankoska was given a rousing ovation when she was taken out of the game, for the first time, with 1:06 left and 1,853 points.
