BERKELEY REGIONAL
Iowa State 69, Michigan State 68: BERKELEY, Calif. -- Alison Lacey's 3-pointer from the top of the key with 23 seconds remaining capped a furious comeback, leading fourth-seeded Iowa State to a victory over ninth-seeded Michigan State on Saturday night and a trip to the Berkeley Regional finals.
The Cyclones (27-8) trailed 68-61 after Aisha Jefferson's basket with 1:26 to play and looked poised to become the Spartans' next upset victim before scoring the final eight points.
Nicky Wieben scored her only basket on a putback and the Cyclones turned up the pressure on defense. Heather Ezell banked in a 3-pointer to cut the lead to two and after a turnover by Michigan State (22-11), Lacey hit her biggest shot on a 29-point night.
Michigan State had one last trip, but Kalisha Keane missed a 3-pointer and Jefferson and Lykendra Johnson missed shots from in close to give the Cyclones the win.

Maryland 78, Vanderbilt 74: RALEIGH, N.C. -- Marissa Coleman scored a career-high 42 points, including the go-ahead basket with 27.9 seconds left, and Maryland rallied from 18 down to beat Vanderbilt.
