LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Ally Malott scored 28 points and Amber Deane added 23 to lead No. 7 seed Dayton to a 99-94 upset of second-seeded Kentucky on Sunday.
Deane hit a 3-pointer with 24 seconds remaining to send the Flyers (27-6) to their first Sweet 16.
Kelley Austria made four free throws in the final 21 seconds and added 17 points for Dayton, which hit 11 3-pointers to help overcome 24 turnovers.
Makayla Epps scored 22 of her 29 points in the second half to lead Kentucky (24-10). Jennifer O’Neill added 16 and Bria Goss scored 12.
The Wildcats were without senior Azia Bishop, who was suspended by coach Matthew Mitchell for “failure to uphold team standards.”
Bishop was averaging 6.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. Bishop had started the seven previous games and scored six points in Kentucky’s 97-52 win over Tennessee State in the opening round of the tourney.
