Last night in Trenton, Hartford had Georgia right where they wanted them, tied at 42 with less than sixteen to play. Then Janese Hardrick spurred a 15-0 run to lead Georgia to a 73-54 victory. Tasha Humphrey was unstoppable, finishing with 26 points and 17 rebounds. Sherill Baker added 24 points and 3 of her usual steals. Freshman Erica Beverly led the Hawks with 13; senior Erika Messam finished her career with 11 points.

The second game matched up Rutgers and TCU. Rutgers was looking for several things: Coach Stringer's 750th career victory, a trip to the Sweet Sixteen, and redemption after their near-loss to Dartmouth. TCU was looking for their first trip to the Sweet Sixteen and to overcome the departure of their leading scorer, Tasha Lacy. The Lady Frogs had a small lead early on, but Kia Vaughn was unmovable in the post, and the Scarlet Knights started lighting it up from the perimeter to pull away. The final was 82-48; all five Rutgers starters were in double figures, led by Cappie Pondexter's 24, though their bench only contributed four points and seven boards.
