NCAA first round: Auburn 85, Lehigh 49

The Auburn women's basketball team's had no trouble in its NCAA tournament opener this afternoon. The Tigers got 26 points from DeWanna Bonner to easily win their first NCAA tournament game since 2004.

Auburn (30-3), the two seed in the Oklahoma City bracket, plays the winner of Rutgers and Virginia Commonwealth on Monday night. The game will be played on Rutgers' home court.

One other thing of note in a game that wasn't ever close. Whitney Boddie had nine assists, giving her 600 for her career, breaking the school record of 593 set by Renae Halbrooks from 1978-82.

Everybody got to play for Auburn. KeKe Carrier scored 11 points off the bench. Chantel Hilliard added 10.

None of Auburn's starters played more than 31 minutes, so the Tigers should be well rested come Round 2.
