UNCASVILLE, Conn. – No. 2 UCF eliminated No. 7 Wichita State, 65-32, behind a stout defensive performance in the quarterfinals of the American Athletic Conference Championship Saturday night in Mohegan Sun Arena.
Wichita State (16-15) saw its season come to an end with the loss. It was the first-ever appearance in the quarterfinals for the Shockers and the first winning season since 2014-15.
Trajata Colbert posted her second straight solid outing, finishing with a team-high 10 points and six rebounds.
Wichita State never found its rhythm on the offensive end, a lot of which had to do with UCF's defense.
