The victory sends the Hoyas into a quarterfinal meeting with top seed UConn on Saturday at noon. The Huskies won the lone meeting this season, 90-49 on Feb. 20. The Hoyas delivered a knockout against Providence with a 21-0 second-half run. Bolden-Morris (12.6 points per game) scored 18 points on 7-for-19 shooting. She scored only six against UConn, so stopping her will again be a key for UConn. Georgetown allows 67.8 points per game, with opponents shooting 40.2 percent, 34.2 on 3s. The Hoyas have won three in a row, allowing 51.0 points during this stretch.
