HOW IT HAPPENED
Things started well for the Tigers, who quickly saw a 10-0 lead through the first nearly four minutes. The Grenadiers got on the board with a pair of free throws at the 6:14 mark. Kayra Freeman poured in eight of her 19 points in the first quarter as Georgetown took a 23-15 lead into the second quarter.
