We lead 54-49 after three quarters as we outscored Texas 25-13 due to a fantastic start to the quarter and timely shooting by one Miss Karlie Samuelson.
The third quarter started off as good as it can get, 6 points on one trip down the floor. Karlie gets fouled on a made 3-pointer and a rare free throw miss turns into an offensive rebound and a made 3-pointer by Brit, trimming the Texas lead from 7 to just 1 in about one minute of play into the third. You can't ask for much more.
Marta however has had a couple of bad decisions, which led to 4 easy points on 2 fastbreak layups.
Erica got a rebound from a missed pass by Holmes inside that bounced off the backboard back towards Erica, and she was able to go on a fastbreak layup.
Karlie picked it up from long range to power our offense, draining 3-pointers and making up for points that we've left out, including missed free throws by Kaylee and a failed fast break conversion that led to a McPhee offensive foul.
Erica has 18 points on 8/12 shooting, but she has 3 fouls heading into the last quarter, so she'll have to be careful not to pick up a bad foul.
We need a third option beyond Erica and Karlie. Alanna and Brit, who have been our offensive stars the last few games have been relatively quiet with 8 and 6 points respectively. Hopefully, one of them can pick it up
