It's the #6 Jaguars vs. the #8 Lady Colonels in the day's last game at Rupp Arena. 

Please post updates here.

What was already going to be a battle, got interesting when it was announced Mercy's second leading scorer Alyssa Murphy would sit out the rest of the tourney with a knee injury. Can super soph Leah Macy and her able teammates power the Jaguars into the semis? 

Winner here will meet #4 McCracken County in tomorrow's semifinals.
