Here’s Part 2 of our roundup of Friday’s action:
No. 10 seed Princeton Tigers over No. 7 seed NC State Wolfpack, 64-63
Princeton only needed a two to tie the game, but with time winding down Grace Stone had an open look at a three from the right corner and pulled the trigger. The trey went through at four seconds remaining and proved to be the thrilling game-winner for the Tigers against the preseason-No. 10 Wolfpack, who were unable to get a shot off on their final possession.
The Wolfpack were without leading scorer Diamond Johnson due to injury.
Stone tied teammate Kaitlyn Chen with a game-high 22 points. Stone got hers on a 5-of-12 effort from downtown and added five rebounds and four steals. Chen was good for seven boards and four assists. Julia Cunningham (14 points, eight helpers) and Ellie Mitchell (four points, 11 rebounds, five swipes, four blocks) were also key.
Princeton won this game by winning the turnover margin by 11.
No. 9 seed South Dakota State Jackrabbits over No. 8 seed USC Trojans, 62-57 (OT)
Destiny Littleton hit a three with seven seconds left in regulation to tie it for USC and Myah Selland missed a shot to win it for South Dakota State at the buzzer. The Jackrabbits bounced back in overtime to take the five-point win.
Selland finished…
