WOMEN'S ROUNDUP | Top 25



DePaul 75, No. 8 Notre Dame 59
CHICAGO -- Jenni Dant scored 23 points, Charlene Smith added 19, and both keyed important runs for DePaul. Dant scored six straight points for DePaul (6-2) in the second half to give the Demons a 48-36 lead with 16:41 remaining. Notre Dame (4-1) responded with nine straight points. Alicia Ratay hit two free throws to get Irish within three with 12:53 remaining. But DePaul outscored Notre Dame 13-3 during a five-minute span. Dant had a 3-point play to give the Blue Demons a 51-45 lead, and Smith made layup for a 61-48 advantage with 5:57 remaining. Jacqueline Batteast led Notre Dame (4-1) with 17 points.
No. 24 George Washington 82,No. 22 Brigham Young 58
WASHINGTON -- Ugo Oha scored 25 points, and Erica Lawrence added a season-high 17 and 12 rebounds for George Washington (4-1), which relied on Oha to establish an inside presence, and the Colonials shot 53 percent. When the Cougars (5-2) began to focus their defense on Oha it left Lawrence and others open around the basket. Erin Thorn led BYU with 22 points, and was a consistent threat from the outside, making five of 11 3-point attempts. But a 13-0 run after the Cougars closed within 60-54 negated her scoring.
