Walker had eight of her 22 points in the final 10:02 as Monacan, ranked 19th in the latest USA Today national poll, handed No. 6 Norcross its first loss of the season.

Walker had 19 points, eight rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocked shots as Monacan opened the tournament with a 78-27 win over Prairie View (CO).
