The press stories about the game are playing up those third quarter heroics by Karlie and Britt--for good reason.  Between the two of them, we hit 9 straight shots.  Britt scored 11 points in the last 2:36 of the third.  I think the Colorado coach was chagrined but that she doesn't really know our team.

  "Their non-shooters shot the heck out of it tonight."

Although I agree with you that this sounds unfair to our players, I think she *may* have been referring to DiJonai. Here's the full quote:

Their non-shooters shot the heck out of it tonight. We had people double their 3-point output for their entire season tonight.

And, indeed, DiJonai went 2 for 2 from 3pt range, doubling her output for the season and improving her 3pt shooting to 4 of 12 on the season. She might also have been referring to Marta, who went 1 for 2 from 3pt range and had only attempted 8 shots total from beyond the arc all season before yesterday. Crazy fact: after Karlie, Marta has our best 3pt % of everyone who's taken at least 10 shots. What a change from the start of this season!

Oh, I see what you mean.  I thought that phrase was referring to her own players.  Colorado is not normally a spectacularly shooting three point team.
