Holy Cross, which could be the toughest opponent of the tournament, comes off a 66-62 win over Fordham Tuesday. They also have victories over New Hampshire, Siena and UMass under their belts.
The Crusaders fell to Michigan, 71-55, in their only loss of the year.
"Holy Cross is great about capitalizing on other teams' mistakes," Johnson said. "We have to be careful with turnovers. They are definitely going to focus on Jen Monti bringing up the ball."
Anne Kinne, a 5'6 guard, is Holy Cross' most potent scoring weapon, averaging 16.2 ppg and shooting 41 percent from beyond the arc.
The Crimson's Johnson will likely find herself battling under the boards against 6'1 forward Monica Rothemich, who leads the Crusaders with 7.8 rpg while scoring 14.8 ppg.
In the early game (5:30) tomorrow, undefeated La Salle rides in on the momentum of a 75-65 win over Villanova on Wednesday.
The Explorers are led by Suzanne Keilty, a 5'9 guard who averages 16.3 ppg. Under the basket, Shannon McDade, a 6'1 forward, grabs eight rebounds a game and pours in 13.3 ppg.
Hartford is led by Coach Jennifer Rizzotti, a UConn graduate and player for the WNBA champion Houston Comets, who is in her first year as head coach, which coincides with the WNBA off-season.
