HOW IT HAPPENED
The Tigers offensive explosion started on the first possession when Kayra Freeman nailed a 3-pointer to get things started. Layups followed by Daisy Gale and Eszter Dioszegi before the Warriors found the bottom of the net. Nine different Tigers saw the floor in the dominant first quarter, with seven scoring as the scoreboard read 23-2 with just under two minutes to play. The Warriors' first field goal came at the 1:24 mark of the first quarter and Georgetown took a 28-7 lead after the opening 10 minutes.

After Jackie Onunwor connected for the opening basket of the third quarter, it was all Warriors. The visitors used a 10-0 run to cut it to a 54-32 game, but that is the closet it would get the rest of the way as the Tigers went on to take a 74-48 lead into the fourth.
