Ashley Hughes and Erika Wakefield posted double-digit points to lead No. 9 seed Tulsa to a 60-55 win over No. 8 seed Memphis in the American Athletic Conference Championship on Friday afternoon at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn. The Golden Hurricane moved to 10-20 on the season, while the Tigers concluded their season with a 14-16 mark.
"It took everybody, especially when they closed the gap," Head Coach Matilda Mossman said. "With a young team this has happened before, we get a double-digit lead and we see is slip away. They came back on us and we were able to slam the door on it and pick the lead back up.
