Untarnished On Tuesday
BIG EAST women’s basketball teams went 3-0 on Tuesday, with DePaul (5-4) starting off the day with a notable win over RV/RV Green Bay 68-64, before Georgetown (8-1) remained perfect on the road with a 61-40 victory at Colgate and Villanova (6-2) edged local foe Penn 68-62. Anaya Peoples led the Blue Demons with a game-high 22 points, sparking DePaul to its third win in its last four outings. In Hamilton, N.Y., Brianna Scott had a game-high 21 points to lead the Hoyas. Christina Dalce was the star for the Wildcats, erupting for 18 points, 17 rebounds and three blocks.
