 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Katie Gearlds finally had her big game at Williams Arena, and the well-rounded Purdue Boilermakers are moving on to a bigger stage. Gearlds led second-seeded Purdue with 26 points in a 76-63 win over seventh-seeded Georgia Tech in the second round of the NCAA women's tournament on Monday night.
Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton added 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Boilermakers (30-5), who will play third-seeded Georgia next Sunday in the Dallas Regional semifinals.
Gearlds, a first team All-Big Ten guard, was in prime form. After totaling 24 points on 10-for-33 shooting in three previous games here against host Minnesota, the senior with the smooth stroke sparked her team to a quick start and Purdue's fourth advancement to the round of 16 in the last five years.
