Petty’s standout performance came in a game against Tennessee Tech on Sunday, where she led her team to victory with a career-high 33 points and 15 rebounds. This remarkable feat places her in an elite group of Wildcats players, as only four individuals in the program’s history have achieved a 30-15 double-double. The last player to accomplish this feat was Valerie Still over a decade ago. Still, an all-time great for Kentucky, witnessed Petty’s success firsthand from the stands.
