ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Breanna Stewart had 31 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists to help UConn rout Texas 105-54 on Saturday, earning coach Geno Auriemma his 100th NCAA Tournament win.
Auriemma became the second coach to reach the century mark, joining Pat Summitt, who finished with 112 victories in her career. They are the only two coaches in men's or women's basketball to reach that milestone.
The Huskies shot a blistering 56 percent from the field and became the eighth team to put up more than 100 points in the regionals. UConn also broke the record for biggest margin of victory in regionals, surpassing the previous mark of 44.
UConn (35-1) led 26-19 midway through the first half before blowing the game open with a 44-9 run spanning the half. The burst started with 13 straight points by the Huskies, who will face Dayton in the Albany Regional final on Monday night for a spot in the Final Four.
DAYTON 82, LOUISVILLE 66
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Andrea Hoover scored 26 points and seventh-seeded Dayton continued its improbable run.
Amber Deane added 15 points and Jodie Cornelie-Sigmundova had 12 and 11 rebounds for the Flyers, who won for the 11th time in the last 12 games.
The Flyers (28-6) become just the fourth No. 7 seed to advance to a regional final since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1994 and the first since Mississippi in 2007.
Myisha Hines-Allen scored all 14 of her points in the second half to lead Louisville, which finishes its season at 27-7.
Dayton led by a point at the half, but used an 11-2 run, capped by a 3-pointer from Deane and ran away from the Cardinals after intermission.
SPOKANE REGIONAL
MARYLAND 65, DUKE 55
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Shatori Walker-Kimbrough scored 18 of her 24 points in the second half and Laurin Mincy scored all 15 of her points in the first half for top-seeded Maryland in the regional semifinals.
Walker-Kimbrough took over the scoring load carried by Mincy as the Terrapins (33-2) reached the Elite Eight for the sixth time under coach Brenda Frese, taking down their former foe from the ACC in the process. The Terrapins had lost eight of their previous 10 games against Duke. But Maryland is 2-0 against the Blue Devils in the NCAA Tournament.
Elizabeth Williams led Duke (23-11) with 18 points and nine rebounds. Maryland will face Tennessee on Monday night for a trip to the Final Four in Tampa, Florida.
TENNESSEE 73, GONZAGA 69, OT
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - Cierra Burdick scored 22, including four late free throws for the winning points.
Burdick added 15 rebounds and Ariel Massengale scored 16 points for Tennessee (30-5), which overcome poor shooting and a 17-point deficit for the win.
Sunny Greinacher scored 24 points and Keani Albanez, 20 for surprising Gonzaga (26-8), which upset third-seeded Oregon State last weekend to advance to the round of 16. That was its record eighth win as a double-digit seed in the NCAA Tournament.
