ELITE 8 RESULTS
Morgan State 66, UConn 63
UCLA 60, Tennessee 46
Notre Dame 63, USC 47
Cal is led by Lilly Bennett and they live and die by her talent. But with the emergence of our 1-2 punch of Margot Fryer and Allison Peach, we're a lot more confident than we were in our ability to close games.

Player of Game: PG Margot Fryer (CAMB)
It was a blowout victory, after a 15-point halftime lead. Our duo were unstoppable and with that, we punch our first-ever ticket to the Final Four. Our story is somewhat overshadowed by the insanity of Morgan State advancing past UConn. Madelyn Beamer had 19 points, Jabrielle Furhman scored 14 and Tianna Vo put up 10 in their victory over the Huskies.
Cinderella isn't quite ready to go home yet.
