Manhattan ? Georgia Tech stopped the player it wanted to Sunday.

It just happened to be the wrong player.

The Yellow Jackets held Laurie Koehn, last season’s best three-point shooter in the nation, to two three-pointers, but it forgot about Kansas State’s other guard.

Megan Mahoney hit 4-of-5 threes for 16 points and had 13 assists to lead No. 5 Kansas State to a 83-59 victory Sunday in the second round of the preseason WNIT.

“I’m very pleased with her balance and she really shot the ball extremely well today,” coach Deb Patterson said. “She walked off the court with a double-double. She’s playing very solid across the board.”

With Mahoney’s help, Kansas State made 8-of-12 three-pointers and held the Yellow Jackets to four field goals in the second half. The win sets up a semifinal Wednesday in Manhattan with Southern California, which beat Colorado State, 59-58.

Nicole Ohlde had 20 points, Kendra Wecker added 19 and Koehn had 13 for Kansas State. Mahoney shot 6-of-10 from the floor.

“I’m just playing,” Mahoney said. “I’m not doing anything spectacular. My teammates are the ones making buckets.”

Sonja Mallory led Georgia Tech (1-1) with 21 points and Fallon Stokes had 15. Kasha Terry had 11 rebounds.

A 7-1 run to start the second half gave Kansas State a 54-44 lead with 16:34 left. Georgia Tech cut the lead to eight, but never got closer.
