MINNEAPOLIS – Maybe Georgia was saving all of its offense for the second round.

Cori Chambers scored all 18 of her points in a perfect first-half performance, leading the third-seeded Lady Bulldogs to a 76-56 victory over Iowa State in the Dallas Regional on Monday night.

Tasha Humphrey had 21 points and seven rebounds for Georgia (27-6), which shot 61 percent and made eight 3-pointers in the first half to advance to the school’s 17th regional semifinal and fifth in a row.

Lyndsey Medders had 11 points and nine assists for sixth-seeded Iowa State (26-9), which trailed by 25 points midway through the first half and couldn’t compete with Georgia’s quickness on the perimeter and physical defensive play.

The game was a rematch of the 1999 Mideast Regional Final won by Georgia, 89-71, and this one was just as lopsided.

After shooting just 32 percent in an ugly 53-36 victory over Belmont in the first round, Georgia couldn’t miss early on Monday night.

The Lady Bulldogs missed just twice in the first nine minutes and went 6-for-6 from 3-point range to bury Iowa State. They will play the winner of Purdue-Georgia Tech in Dallas on Sunday.
