(Chris Reich/NSU Photographic Services) Boerne's Chloe Donnell tied an NCAA Division I record Monday when she sank 14 3-pointers for Northwestern State in a 120-40 victory against Ecclesia in the Demons' home season opener in Natchitoches, La.Donnell made 14 of 23 shots from the arc and was 16 of 26 from the field en route to scoring 46 points in just 27 minutes."I don't think anything could compare to this," Donnell said in a school news release. "I have never been much of a scorer. I contribute well defensively and other things, but I just shot the ball well … I knew I was hitting, but I didn't realize it was that many until the fourth quarter."Donnell shares the record with Baylor's Juicy Landrum, who made 14 against Arkansas State in 2019.It was Donnell's Demons' debut after transferring from South Alabama where she played one season. Prior to Monday, her career high was four points. Her 46 points on Monday are the third most in program history and the most since 1990.Donnell dropped buzzer-beaters to end the first and second quarters. She had 20 at halftime and scored 17 in the third quarter. She had three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter to tie the mark."I've never seen anything like it," said Alan Frey, who was making his coaching debut. "It takes a whole bunch of things going on. We were setting screens for her and sometimes, she just caught the ball and said, ‘I'm feeling it, it's a heat check here.' We're going to go with that. When we have someone who is on fire, let's lean into that."Donnell graduated from Boerne in 2025 and was a member of the Greyhounds' state semifinalist squads in 2023 and 2024. After Boerne, Donnell played one season at South Alabama. She totaled eight points in 11 games for South Alabama before transferring to Northwestern State.SubscribeThere’s more to San Antonio with the Express-News.
