Vanderbilt (5-1) trailed 7-4 less than 3 minutes in, then went on a 29-0 run, capped by a basket by Cherish Stringfield with 4:17 left in the first half.
Colgate (1-3), which missed 20 straight shots and committed nine turnovers during a 13-minute scoreless run, ended the streak on a basket by Gretchen Polinski at 3:58 and trailed 33-9.
