The DePaul women’s basketball team (4-2, 1-0 Big East) defeated the Georgetown Hoyas (0-1, 0-1 Big East) 72-54 Saturday Afternoon at Wintrust Arena, with the Hoyas strong first half doomed by 32 turnovers. DePaul’s relentless full-court pressure was key to the game for the Blue Demons, who converted 36 points off turnovers on the way to an 18 point victory.
Freshman guard Yasmin Ott led the Hoyas with 18 points, shooting 4-6 from three and an efficient 7-10 from the floor. Senior guard Dee Bekelja paced the Blue Demons, scoring 19 points, and leading DePaul to 28 points in transition.
