Junior guard Ali Johnson scored 16 points, draining 4-of-8 from three-point range, and Rachel Booth added 13 points, five rebounds and four assists as the visiting Tommies (7-2 overall, 6-0 MIAC) pulled away for a 69-38 win over the host Carleton Knights (3-6, 2-5) in Wednesday night's women's basketball game in Northfield.

St. Thomas had a 52-30 advantage in rebounds and a 26-6 margin in bench points.
The Toms are home Saturday to face Gustavus in a 1 p.m. game.
