Tennessee, after a first-round romp over Stetson, got all it could handle from eighth-seeded Marquette. The Golden Eagles' senior guard tandem of Angel Robinson and Tatiyiana McMorris had not played in an NCAA tournament before this year, but they certainly made the most of the opportunity.
McMorris finished the afternoon 3-of-7 behind the three-point line and 5-of-10 from the floor overall for the eighth-seeded Golden Eagles (24-8) as she posted 13 points. Angel Robinson tallied a team-high 19 points and pulled down eight rebounds, followed by Paige Fiedorowicz with 14 points in the triumph.
Angel Robinson finished with 19 points to lead the eighth-seeded Golden Eagles (24-8), who will face No. 1 seed Tennessee in the Dayton region on Monday. Marquette is making its fourth appearance in the second round but has never advanced to the regional semifinals.
