LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Natisha Hiedeman scored a career-high 32 points, including 18 in the first quarter, and No. 8 seed Marquette rallied past ninth-seed Dayton for an 84-65 victory Friday in a women's NCAA Tournament first-round game.
Hiedeman's five 3-pointers in the first quarter were critical in rallying the Golden Eagles (24-9) from an 11-3 deficit to a 22-15 lead that they maintained on the way to their first NCAA win since 2011. The junior guard wasn't done, adding a few more in the second half on the way to finishing 8 of 12 from behind the arc and 10 of 18 overall to surpass her career best by two points.
