EAST LANSING, Mich. — After three years of piling up championships and gaudy records in the Mid-American Conference, Bowling Green wanted more.

The Falcons got it Sunday in the form of an NCAA tournament win, 70-66 over Oklahoma State in the first round of the Greensboro Regional.

Bowling Green charged past the 10th-seeded Cowgirls to set up a matchup with Vanderbilt on Tuesday.

The Falcons (30-3) haven’t been in a second-round game since 1989, including two winless trips to the NCAAs with their current seniors.

• Vandy 62, Delaware St 47

EAST LANSING, Mich.  — The second-seeded Commodores were able to shake off an early malaise to beat 15th-seeded Delaware State in the first round of the Greensboro Regional.

Christina Wirth scored 17 points and Carla Thomas 16 to lead a balanced attack for the Commodores (28-5), who led 43-40 with about 8:50 left, then pulled away with clutch 3-point shooting and inside power.

• Duke 81, Holy Cross 44

RALEIGH, N.C. — Duke was steamed after its only loss of the season, and someone had to pay. Once again, it  took out its frustrations on overmatched Holy Cross.

Abby Waner hit six 3-pointers and scored 20 of her 22 points during an overwhelming first half, and top-seeded Duke cruised in the first round of the Greensboro Regional.

Duke (31-1) will face the Temple-Nebraska winner Tuesday in the second round.

• Mich. St. 69, Delaware 58

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Allyssa DeHaan had 13 points as part of a balanced offense to lead the fifth-seeded Spartans (24-8) over the No. 12 Blue Hens (26-6). Michigan State advanced to face the winner of the Rutgers-East Carolina game on Tuesday night.

Delaware (26-6) tied a school record for wins and played in the NCAA tournament for the second time.

• Maryland 89, Harvard 65

HARTFORD, Conn. — Maryland coach Brenda Frese thought Kristi Toliver was trying too hard. So the coach decided to have her star guard come off the bench for the first time this season — and it worked.

Toliver scored 13 points and added nine assists to help second-seeded Maryland beat No. 15 Harvard in the first round of the Dayton Regional.

• Mississippi 88, TCU 74

HARTFORD, Conn. — Armintie Price and her Mississippi teammates pressed TCU right out of the tournament. Price scored 21 points and these running Rebels scored 39 points off 23 turnovers in the first round of the Dayton Regional.

Mississippi (22-10) won in the NCAAs for the first time since 1994, posting its highest-scoring game ever in the tournament. The Rebels came out with a full-court trapand pulled away late in the first half.

• Wisconsin-Green Bay 59, New Mexico 52

HARTFORD, Conn. — Wisconsin-Green Bay used a huge second-half run to keep its big winning streak alive.

Nicole Soulis scored 15 points and the ninth-seeded Phoenix opened the second half with a 20-5 spurt to extend their winning streak to 26 games in the first round of the Fresno Regional.

The streak is the second longest in the nation, trailing only Middle Tennessee State, which won its 27th consecutive game with a 85-46 victory over Gonzaga on Saturday.

• Tennessee 76, Drake 37

PITTSBURGH — Tennessee limited the Bulldogs to two points in the opening 10 minutes of each half and Alexis Hornbuckle led a late surge in the first half that broke open a tight game, carrying the Lady Vols to a 76-37 victory Sunday night in the first round of the NCAA women’s tournament.

The Vols (29-3), the top seed in the Dayton Regional, didn’t expect much trouble with the 16th-seeded Bulldogs (14-19) but led only 21-14 with 2:21 left in the first half.

• Baylor 68, Chattanooga 55

RALEIGH, N.C. — Jessica Morrow scored 13 points and led the decisive run, and Baylor nearly blew a big lead before pulling away in the first round of the Fresno Regional.

Fifth-seeded Baylor (26-7), the 2005 national champion, will play fourth-seeded North Carolina State in the Wolfpack’s hometown, and one of the main story lines is Hall of Fame coach Kay Yow’s return after two months away to fight cancer.

Baylor coach Kim Mulkey was a player and Yow was an assistant coach on the U.S. Olympic team that won the gold medal in 1984 in Los Angeles.

• North Carolina State 84, Robert Morris 52

RALEIGH, N.C. — Marquetta Dickens couldn’t wait for the chance to end North Carolina State’s losing streak in the NCAA tournament. She felt the excitement build when the Wolfpack’s home fans cheered loudly for ailing coach Kay Yow. The senior scored a career-high 25 points and the Wolfpack (24-9) gave Yow her first NCAA win in six years.

• N. Carolina 95, P. View 38

PITTSBURGH — Prairie View’s players tried to convince themselves that North Carolina was just another opponent, just another team. Only seconds after the mismatch began, it was obvious the Tar Heels were much, much more than that.

North Carolina needed less than four minutes to open a 20-point lead and cruised after that behind 14 points each from Camille Little and Jessica Breland in a first-round rout. The Tarheels (31-3) advanced to a second-round game Tuesday against No. 9 seed Notre Dame (20-11).
