Columbia WBB rips off a 25-4 third quarter to take a 55-33 lead over FGCU. 18 of those points came off turnovers, and the Lions shot 50% to the Eagles' 20% in the period.

Riley Weiss has 6 of Columbia's 8 points in an 8-2 run early in the 3Q against FGCU. Her second basket in that stretch, a tough layup through contact, gave her 17 points today and 1,001 in her career through 2.5 seasons. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

At half, Columbia WBB leads FGCU 30-29. FGCU got more on the inside in the 2Q, but it has only made one 3-pointer to Columbia's five.

Columbia's Riley Weiss (13p, 3-9 3pt) and FGCU's Nay Staton (11p, 4-6 FG, 4r) are leading the way for their teams. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

After 1Q, Columbia WBB leads FGCU 18-14. It's been a pretty even game so far, but Columbia is +4 in points off turnovers.

Columbia's Riley Weiss, who needs 16 points to reach 1,000 in her career, has a game-high 7 on 3-7 shooting. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

Fliss Henderson got two surprise diagnoses in her first year at Columbia: scoliosis before the season and a stress fracture in her back after the season ended.

Now a junior, Henderson is healthy and an integral part of the Lions' success. Read more from @jennhatfield.bsky.social:

Stop me if you've heard this before: Northwestern WBB gets a buzzer-beater at the end of the quarter to cut GW's lead to 8.

This time, it's a 3 from Caroline Lau to end the 3Q to make it 52-44. She and teammate Tayla Thomas each have a game-high 15 points. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB

A last-second layup by Angelina Hodgens pulls Northwestern within 8 points at halftime. But the Wildcats still trail GW 32-24.

Northwestern's Tayla Thomas and GW's Emma Theodorsson each have a game-high 9 points. @theixbasketball.bsky.social #NCAAWBB
