NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Grace Daley scored 31 points as No. 19 Tulane beat Memphis 83-67 Sunday and set a Conference USA record of 14 consecutive victories.
Tulane's record tops the 13 straight by Marquette during the 1997-98 season.
Daley, a senior, also had six assists and five rebounds and moved into second place on Tulane's career scoring list with 1,894 career points. Daley trails only Carmen Jones (1,876) and Stacey Gaudet (2,080) on the Green Wave's career list.
Tulane (14-0, 3-0 Conference USA) dominated the first half, outscoring Memphis 56-26. Memphis (7-7, 1-2) tried to rally in the second period, cutting Tulane's lead to nine points with 3:06 remaining. But Daley scored six points in an 8-0 run.
Salome Hector had 14 points, as did Tiffany Adkins of Memphis.
