Tech earns the fourth seed and a first-round bye in the Big East women's tournament.
We needed to play good team defense and we did that. Tech didn't flinch. St. John's tried to respond again, as Thompson nailed her fourth three of the game, dwindling Tech's lead to four, but that would be the Red Storm's last gasp. Two Williams baskets and another by Wetzel gave Tech its largest lead of the game at 59-49. It was senior night and the emotions were flowing.
