Daily News | Villanova hit historic heights in win over Florida Gulf Coast, advance to Sweet 16

Since the first practice in the fall, the goal within Villanova’s program has been to improve on last year’s showing. While they had arguably done that already, Monday night’s game presented an opportunity to officially achieve that goal with a win in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

To go along with her 31 points, Siegrist added six rebounds, four blocks and four steals. Sophomore Lucy Olsen joined Siegrist in double figures with a career high 23 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists for her second career double-double. Senior Brooke Mullin did a little bit of everything for the Wildcats as she finished with seven points, four rebounds and five assists.

FGCU did exactly what one would expect in the second quarter, respond. The Eagles shot 52.9% from the field in the period to cut the Wildcat lead to six entering the halftime break.
