GREENSBORO, N.C., March 30 (UPI) -- Essence Carson's 25 points Sunday carried Rutgers to a 53-42 win over George Washington in an NCAA Tournament contest in Greensboro, N.C.

Epiphany Prince scored 12 points with seven rebounds.
Matee Ajavon had six points and six rebounds, while Kia Vaughn scored only three points but added a game-high 11 rebounds for the second-seeded Scarlet Knight (27-6), who will face top-seeded and fellow Big East member Connecticut Tuesday in the regional final.
They overcame 14 turnovers.
George Washington got 16 points and five rebounds from Jazmine Adair.
Sarah-Jo Lawrence, the only other player in double figures, added 10 points, three rebounds and three assists for the Lady Colonials, who finished with a 27-7 record.
They shot just 32.1 percent.
