NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Vanderbilt broke a school record with 19 3-pointers and Matthew Fisher-Davis scored 19 points, including four 3-pointers, in a 90-63 win over High Point on Tuesday night.

Riley LaChance tied the record with a 3-pointer from the top of the key with 6:56 left and Joe Toye's 3-pointer from the corner with 1:26 left broke the record. LaChance scored 14 points, including four 3s.

Vanderbilt (5-4) made 19 of 32 from 3-point range. The old school record was 18 3-pointers in an 88-63 win at Tennessee in 2005.

High Point (4-5) went 12 for 15 from beyond the arc.

Vanderbilt's Jeff Roberson scored 14 points, including four 3-pointers, Payton Willis added 13 points with three 3-pointers and Nolan Cressler scored 10.

Vanderbilt, the SEC's top 3-point shooting team, has made a 3-pointer in all 973 of its games since the inception of the 3-point line in 1986. Only UNLV has a longer streak in Division I basketball.

LaChance entered the game with the Southeastern Conference's second-leading 3-point percentage (67.9).

Miles Bowman Jr. led High Point with 22 points, Jamal Wright had 12 and Anthony Lindauer added 11.

Bowman scored High Point's first 10 points, leading the Panthers to a 13-6 lead early in the first half. Vanderbilt answered with an 11-0 run to take a 17-13 lead.

The Commodores made 12 of their first 19 shots from 3-point range to take a 50-42 halftime lead. High Point was nearly as good, hitting eight of its first nine.

Vanderbilt improved to 13-0 against the Big South Conference.

BIG PICTURE

High Point: The Panthers' 3-point shooters were almost as productive as the Commodores, but Vanderbilt pulled away in the second half.

Vanderbilt: The Commodores' 3-point shooting is as good as it gets, but they're still searching for consistency in their overall game.

High Point hosts Ferrum on Sunday to start a two-game home stand.

Vanderbilt visits Middle Tennessee on Thursday before a nine-day break.
