We are all hoping that Dodson develops her defense well enough to earn more minutes.  Fingall was not looking very sharp until the last game--she earned praise from Tara and is getting time this game.  Meanwhile, Kaylee's health seems to have deteriorated and is usually playing through pain.  Whichever of the three of them plays the best will get the lion's share of the minutes.

We need to blanket Maggard and Jones and disrupt their shooting, or we could easily lose this game.  At least our offense seems to be decent.

We had only 3 turnovers in the first half.  And we shot 49%.  Hard to believe we are tied with stats like that.

Third quarter:

Announcer points out that they are leaving Sniezek alone to shoot.  And so she makes one!  Smith completes a three point play.  And a reverse layin for Smith.  Then Belmont sinks another three.  Romano drains a trey!  Smith coast to coast for a layup.  Stanford 50 Belmont 44 midway through the third.

Smith with another layup.  She has 18 points on 8-12 shooting so far.  Sniezek got the message and is shooting the ball, she is 2-9, though.  Sniezek is also closely defending Maggart.

Carrington with a steal and layup.  Next possession, Kaylee Johnson banks it in.  We are up to a 14-0 run for a 59-44 lead.  Now a free throw for Alanna and make that 15-0.  Then a block by Johnson, and exchanges of misses, and Wilson comes in for Sniezek. 

Third quarter is great.  We outscore Belmont 22-7 and we lead Belmont 59-44.  Mostly with our starters.
