 TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Sherill Baker scored 26 points and Tasha Humphrey had 24, helping Georgia blow the game open in the second half to defeat Hartford 73-54 Tuesday night in the second round of the Bridgeport regional.
Humphrey had 17 rebounds for No. 3 seed Georgia (23-8), which reached the round of 16 for the 16th time in 23 NCAA appearances. The Bulldogs will face either second-seeded Connecticut or No. 7 seed Virginia Tech, who played later Tuesday.
The inside-outside combination of the 6-foot-3 Humphrey and the 5-8 Baker was too much for No. 11 seed Hartford (27-4), which had upset No. 6 seed Temple Sunday for the first NCAA tournament win in school history. Erica Beverly led the Hawks with 13 points.
