In the first upset of the tournament, defending champions Texas fell to Tennessee.

Courtney Williams scored 30 points on 13-of-20 shooting, Olivia Miles had 19 points and nine assists, and the Minnesota Lynx eased past the Phoenix Mercury 111-77 on Monday night.

Katie Stewart launched a three-run home run that would eventually be the difference, thrusting the Longhorns into the semifinal round for a grudge match against Tennessee.
