CORAL GABLES, Fla. — The long shots kept making long shots.
And the Sweet 16 is Quinnipiac's reward.
Morgan Manz scored 22 points and made six 3-pointers, Aryn McClure added 15 and 12th-seeded Quinnipiac stunned fourth-seeded Miami 85-78 in a second-round NCAA Tournament game Monday night. Quinnipiac (29-6) next heads to Stockton Arena and plays top-seeded South Carolina on Saturday, now just two games from the Final Four.
Sarah Shewan and Paula Strautmane each scored 11 for the Bobcats, who made a season-best 15 3-pointers and led for the final 31 minutes — holding on for their 12th straight win even after Miami got within a point on three separate occasions in the final 3:22.
