The defending Northeast Conference champion Robert Morris Colonials are headed back to the league's title game thanks to a record performance from NEC player of the year Sade Logan.

Logan, a junior guard, broke one tournament mark and tied another in the No. 2 Colonials' 67-52 victory against sixth-seeded Monmouth at the Wellness, Recreation and Athletic Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Logan, who transferred from Chattanooga State, had 38 points, which ties the third-highest single-game output in the 22 years of the NEC tournament. Logan, Division I's second-leading scorer, tied a tournament record for field goals made with a 15-of-30 performance, including seven 3-pointers.

• Fourth-seeded Long Island overcame 37 points from Erin Kerner of Erie to reach its first tournament championship game since 2002, downing top-seeded Quinnipiac, 67-63, in the other semifinal.

• Big Ten: Purdue's Lakisha Freeman grabbed her own rebound with a second left and beat the buzzer with a 10-foot jumper, giving the third-seeded Boilermakers (18-14) a 58-56 victory against Illinois (19-14) in the championship in Indianapolis. Freeman finished with 12 points. Illinois was led by Jenna Smith with 19 points and 12 rebounds.

• Atlantic Coast: For the second day in a row, North Carolina celebrated an ACC championship at the expense of its biggest rival. Erlana Larkins and Cetera DeGraffenreid each scored 17 points to help the second-ranked Tar Heels (30-2) beat No. 12 Duke (23-9), 86-73, in the tournament championship in Greensboro, N.C., giving North Carolina its fourth consecutive title while almost certainly locking up a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

• Southeastern: Candace Parker hit a jumper with 1:57 left that put No. 3-ranked Tennessee (30-2) ahead to stay, and the Lady Vols won their record 13th SEC title and third in four years by beating No. 7 LSU (27-5), 61-55. Parker led with 28 points.
