CHICAGO - Maddy Siegrist scored 32 points and grabbed 12 rebounds and No. 25 Villanova held off DePaul 71-64.
Siegrist, the nation's leading scorer (28.5), pushed her career total for Big East Conference regular-season games to 1,311 to pass Tracy List of Providence (1988-92) and tie Holly Porter of Boston College (1993-97) for third in league history.
With her eighth 30-point game of the season Siegrist has moved within 76 points of Shelly Pennefather's (1987) school record 2,408 points.
Christina Dalce added 13 points for the Wildcats (15-3, 6-1 Big East) and Maddie Burke had 11.
Aneesah Morrow scored 28 points and had 11 rebounds for the Blue Demons (10-7, 3-2) and Jorie Allen had 15.
Siegrist had a layup with 2:32 to go in the third quarter to put Villanova up 58-40. DePaul closed the quarter with eight straight points and Morrow's jumper two minutes into the fourth quarter cut the deficit to 58-50.
Three times DePaul got within five points, but Siegrist scored the last six Villanova points to protect the lead.
Siegrist had 12 points and seven rebounds as the Wildcats took a 35-31 lead in a struggling first half. Morrow had half the Blue Demon field goals (seven) and almost half their points with 15.
