Oregon women top Georgia 57-50, return to Sweet 16 as 6 seed

Associated Press  

SAN ANTONIO — Sedona Prince scored 22 points, Nyara Sabally took over late and sixth-seeded Oregon beat No. 3 Georgia 57-50 on Wednesday in the women’s NCAA Tournament to advance to its fourth straight Sweet 16. “Ny and I talked before the fourth quarter and we were like: ‘We’re going to go to the Sweet 16,’” Prince said. “And then when you start losing a few games and people start to question your program and then your own players sometimes maybe question themselves, is great redemption.” Jenna Staiti had 18 points and nine rebounds for Georgia, which was looking to reach its first Sweet 16 since 2013. “It’s a tie ballgame at that time and then it turns into a four-point swing for them.” Georgia opened the fourth quarter with an 8-2 run to get within 42-41 with about six minutes to go, and it was back and forth from there until Sabally came through for Oregon.
