🇦🇺 Syracuse Orange 79, Virginia Cavaliers 60 (Final)

Sophie Burrows delivered her most complete and explosive performance of the season, erupting for 21 points in 33 minutes as Syracuse powered past Virginia on the road. The junior guard was lethal from deep, drilling 7-of-8 from three-point range, accounting for every made perimeter shot in her stat line and stretching the Cavaliers’ defence beyond its breaking point.

Beyond the shot-making, she impacted the game defensively with five steals and a block, consistently jumping passing lanes and disrupting Virginia’s guards. Her five rebounds matched her season average.

🇦🇺 #13 TCU Horned Frogs 77, Arizona State Sun Devils 46 (Final)

Last-Tear Poa logged 23 minutes in Arizona State’s road loss, finishing with two points, five rebounds, and no assists as the Sun Devils struggled to generate offense. The senior guard went scoreless from the field (0-for-5), with his only points coming at the free-throw line, while also committing three turnovers. Poa’s rebounding total more than doubled his season average (3.2 rpg), standing out on a night where his usual playmaking impact (4.4 apg on the season) was limited by TCU’s defensive pressure.

🇦🇺 #20 Tennessee Lady Volunteers 85, Arkansas Razorbacks 50 (Final)

Bonnie Deas finished with eight points and six rebounds in 19 minutes as Arkansas fell heavily on the road to a ranked Tennessee side. The freshman guard took on a notable share of Arkansas’ offensive workload, attempting nine field goals and getting to the free-throw line twice, converting both. While her efficiency sat close to her season mark, ball pressure from Tennessee limited her playmaking, with no assists recorded and five turnovers charged in a difficult offensive environment.

Even in the loss, Deas’ rebounding remained a consistent feature, landing just below her season average (9.7 rpg) despite reduced minutes, and she added a block on the defensive end. The performance aligned with her broader freshman profile this season — strong activity on the glass, willingness to shoulder usage, and continued exposure to high-level defensive schemes against ranked opposition.

🇦🇺 Virginia Tech Hokies 78, Boston College Eagles 56 (Final)

Lily Carmody finished with five points, two rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes as Boston College went down on the road at Virginia Tech. The sophomore guard had limited shot volume, taking just two field-goal attempts, but remained involved offensively by drawing fouls and getting to the line, where she converted three of four free throws. Her scoring output sat well below her season average (12.1 ppg), reflecting both reduced usage and the Hokies’ ability to shrink driving lanes and contest touches.

🇦🇺 California Golden Bears 61, Wake Forest Demon Deacons 52 (Final)

Lulu Twidale logged 35 minutes and finished with 12 points, four rebounds, five assists and two steals as California secured a home win over Wake Forest. The junior guard took on a heavy perimeter workload, attempting 14 shots and firing 13 times from three-point range, with all four of her made field goals coming from deep. While her overall efficiency dipped on the night (28.6% FG), Twidale’s willingness to keep spacing the floor and stretch the defence remained central to Cal’s offensive structure.

Beyond scoring, Twidale’s five assists represented one of her stronger playmaking outings relative to her season average (3.0 apg), reflecting increased on-ball responsibility and decision-making in the half court. Defensively, she added two steals while playing extended minutes, and her rebounding and assist totals both landed above her season norms, underlining a multi-faceted contribution in a lower-scoring contest.

🇦🇺 Oklahoma State Cowgirls 63, Colorado Buffaloes 56 (Final)

Freshman centre Jade Crook saw limited floor time in Colorado’s road loss, logging five minutes and making the most of her brief appearance. The Albury native scored two points on a perfect 1-for-1 from the field and added an assist, with no turnovers or fouls recorded. While her role was situational, Crook maintained her season-long efficiency profile, continuing to convert opportunities at a high rate around the rim.

🇦🇺 VCU Rams 61, Duquesne Dukes 54 (Final)

Harriet Ford’s impact showed up everywhere except the scoring column in Duquesne’s road loss, as the sophomore forward posted an 11-rebound night in 23 minutes while anchoring the Dukes on the glass. Ford finished scoreless on 0-for-3 shooting, but her work rate remained high, pulling down boards at both ends and adding an assist, a steal, and a block.

While the offensive touches didn’t convert on this occasion, the rebounding total sat above her already strong season average (8.9 rpg) and reinforced her role as a reliable interior presence and possession extender for Duquesne.

🇦🇺 Auburn Tigers 60, Florida Gators 50 (Final)

Emilija Dakić produced one of her most efficient scoring performance of the season in Florida’s road loss, finishing with seven points in 19 minutes while converting every shot she attempted. The freshman guard went a perfect 2-for-2 from the field, knocked down her lone three-point attempt, and added two free throws, giving her a flawless shooting line on the night.

Alongside the scoring, Dakić contributed four rebounds, one assist, and one steal, with no turnovers recorded — a clean, low-mistake performance that stood out in a tight, defensive contest. The seven points marked a clear step above her season average (1.6 ppg).

🇦🇺 Miami Hurricanes 89, Florida State Seminoles 73 (Final)

Pania Davis scored four points in eight minutes as Florida State fell on the road at Miami, converting two of her three field-goal attempts in a brief frontcourt stint. The junior centre’s touches were limited, but she finished efficiently around the rim, adding one rebound while committing a single turnover before picking up four personal fouls.

🇦🇺 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 58, Clemson Tigers 55 (Final)

Jada Crawshaw appeared briefly in Georgia Tech’s three-point home win, logging three minutes as part of a short rotation stint. The junior forward did not score, missing her lone field-goal attempt, but recorded a steal and avoided turnovers in limited action.

The outing came well below Crawshaw’s established season production (7.1 points, 4.0 rebounds per game), reflecting both the minimal minutes and a tightly managed frontcourt rotation rather than any shift in role. Her season efficiency remains a defining feature, shooting 50.7% from the field across the year despite fluctuating usage.

‍🇦🇺 IU Indianapolis Jaguars 70, Wright State Raiders 59 (Final)

Jemma Amoore contributed four points in eight minutes off the bench as IU Indianapolis secured a home win, converting 2-of-3 field-goal attempts in a compact rotation stint.

🇦🇺 #6 Kentucky Wildcats 63, #5 Oklahoma Sooners 57 (Final)

Amelia Hassett logged 37 minutes in sixth-ranked Kentucky’s statement home win, finishing with six points, two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and a steal as the Wildcats outlasted the No. 5 team in the country. The senior forward took on a heavy workload at both ends, attempting nine shots from the field — all from beyond the arc — and remained on the floor for nearly the entire contest as Kentucky leaned into its rotation.

While her shooting efficiency dipped below her season averages (2-of-9 FG, 22.2%), Hassett’s impact extended beyond scoring. Her two blocks were a notable defensive contribution in a low-scoring, physical game, and her 37 minutes reflected Kentucky’s trust in her positional versatility and defensive reliability against elite opposition.

🇦🇺 Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters 86, Liberty Flames 72 (Final)

Isla Airey appeared for seven minutes in Louisiana Tech’s road win, contributing defensively despite not registering a scoring attempt. The sophomore forward recorded two blocks and one assist, with no turnovers, as the Lady Techsters controlled the game away from home. Airey did not take a field-goal or free-throw attempt, keeping her usage low within a brief rotation stint.

🇦🇺 UCLA Bruins 83, Nebraska Cornhuskers 61 (Final)

Jessica Petrie finished with 10 points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two blocks in 26 minutes as Nebraska fell at home to No. 4 UCLA. The junior forward took on a solid offensive workload, attempting 13 field goals and converting five, while also anchoring stretches defensively with multiple rim contests. Although her three-point shot didn’t fall (0-of-4), Petrie remained active inside the arc and on the glass, landing close to her season scoring (12.3 ppg) and rebounding (5.1 rpg) benchmarks against elite opposition.

🇦🇺 Michigan State Spartans 85, Oregon Ducks 81 (Final)

Mia Jacobs carried a major offensive load for Oregon, scoring 18 points in 34 minutes as the Ducks fell narrowly at home to No. 15 Michigan State. The senior forward attempted 18 field goals, converting six, and stayed aggressive throughout, getting to the free-throw line five times and making every attempt. While her perimeter shooting dipped on the night (1-of-6 from three), Jacobs consistently pressured the defence off the dribble and on cuts, keeping Oregon within striking distance late.

Statistically, the performance sat above her season scoring average (14.3 ppg) while aligning closely with her typical rebounding output (6.1 rpg). The turnover count (four) reflected the volume and responsibility she carried as Oregon’s primary offensive option against ranked opposition.

Lara Somfai was held well below her usual production as Stanford fell at home to ACC leaders Duke, finishing with two points and five rebounds in 16 minutes. The freshman forward struggled to find rhythm offensively, going 1-for-9 from the field and missing both three-point attempts.

Despite the shooting difficulties, Somfai’s defensive impact remained evident. She recorded two blocks and a steal.

Freshman forward Opal Bird logged 21 minutes for Wake Forest in a road loss, finishing with four points, one rebound, one assist and one steal. Bird took four field-goal attempts and converted two, with all of her scoring coming inside the arc, while also committing one turnover and four fouls as Wake Forest struggled to find consistent offense against California’s half-court defence. The outing landed slightly below her season averages in scoring and rebounding, reflecting a modest usage night rather than a featured offensive role.

Fellow Australian freshman Savannah Metcalfe saw brief floor time, appearing for two minutes late in the rotation. Metcalfe did not score, missing her lone shot attempt, but collected one rebound in limited action.

🇦🇺 Purdue Boilermakers 78, Washington Huskies 72 (OT, Final)

Freshman guard Sienna Harvey saw limited rotation minutes in Washington’s overtime road loss, appearing for eight minutes and recording two points on a single field-goal attempt. Harvey converted her only shot of the night, adding one rebound, while committing one turnover and finishing without a free-throw attempt as the Huskies leaned heavily on their primary rotation during the extended contest. The brief outing sat well below her season averages in both minutes and usage, reflecting a situational role in a tightly contested matchup that required extended overtime minutes from Washington’s core guards.
