Women clinch No. 1 seed in 79-70 win against Georgetown

Jessica January and Amarah Coleman starred as DePaul clinched the no. 1 seed in next week’s Big East Tournament and a fourth consecutive regular season conference championship (2017 title shared with Creighton) in Sunday afternoon’s 79-70 win against the Georgetown Hoyas.

“We have a philosophy here that every game has a life of its own (and) every season has a life of its own,” coach Doug Bruno said. “Next to winning the national championship, the hardest thing to do is win the regular season conference championship, because it’s a marathon and not a sprint.”

After trading baskets in the opening 30-seconds, the Blue Demon’s burst out to a 12-point run.
