Maddy Siegrist scored 31 points and sent the winningest team in Villanova history into the Sweet 16 for the second time in program history with a 76-57 win over the 12th-seeded Florida Gulf Coast on Monday night.
Villanova Wildcats women's basketball advanced in the first round of the NCAA tournament behind a record-breaking performance from senior forward Maddy Siegrist.
One sign from the student section said it all, "It's On! March Maddyness." Another fan shouted during halftime warmups, "No one can guard you, Maddy!" The Wildcats actually scored the first eight points of the game before Siegrist got on the board. Siegrist may be the star who topped 1,000 points this season alone but she's had plenty of help along the way.
