Magee scored the last six points as Georgetown (15-5, 3-3 Big East) used a 14-2 run to take a 60-42 lead with 1:43 left.
With 6:45 left and the Wildcats (8-11, 0-6) within 46-40, Rodgers hit two free throws, and Monica McNutt hit three straight 3-pointers to help the Hoyas rebound from their 22-point loss at No. 11 Notre Dame on Tuesday.
