Women’s NCAA Tournament roundup

• Napheesa Collier had 27 points and 14 rebounds to help UConn beat UCLA, 86-71. on Saturday, putting the Huskies in the Bridgeport Regional final. The victory was the 110th straight for the No. 1 Huskies, who will face 10th-seeded Oregon on Monday night. The fourth-seed Bruins jumped out a 9-2 lead over UConn before the Huskies scored 17 of the next 19 points. The victory tied Geno Auriemma with Pat Summitt for most all-time NCAA Tournament victories. • Sabrina Ionescu scored 21 points, fellow freshman Ruthy Hebard had 16 and 10th-seeded Oregon continued its improbable run with a 77-63 victory over Maryland. Oregon put five players in double figures on its way to the first regional final in program history. The Terps, who average more than 90 points a game to lead the nation, were held to their lowest point total this season. • Kaela Davis, A’ja Wilson and top-seeded South Carolina overpowered surprise Quinnipiac from the opening tip, scoring the first 16 points and advancing to the Stockton Regional final by beating the 12thseeded Bobcats, 100-58. Davis scored 28 with five 3-pointers, Wilson added 24 and South Carolina’s athleticism and smothering, swarming defense was just too much for Quinnipiac. • Ivey Slaughter started swiping to help Florida State discover its best defense from all angles, and the third-seeded Seminoles erased a daunting deficit and ran right into the Stockton Regional final with a 66-53 win over second-seeded Oregon State. Slick-handed Slaughter had a career-high nine steals, a school record in the NCAA Tournament. Florida State had 16 steals total, and Slaughter also contributed 11 points and eight rebounds.
