We win 72-65 after nearly letting US.C back in the game at the end. We couldn't close them out as we had 18 turnovers including a couple at the end.

But it was McPhee who came up big with 21 points, with several critical baskets to expand the lead once US.C had narrowed the gap.

With turnovers, I don't know what the issue is that we can't improve. A few of those turnovers were passes that I thought was ill-advised, like when we just came up with a loose ball on the opposing side of the court and Kaylee threw it right to a US.C defender covering McPhee. I knew she was thinking of an outlet pass for the easy layup because that was the only defender between McPhee and the basket, but still it would have been better to get it to Sniezek who was right next to her and see if we can set up a play, because the pass was easily picked off.

Otherwise, Kiana seemed to come out of the gates hot but didn't see much play in the second half.

Maybe it's because McPhee's back and they are seldom on the court together or maybe because she's still nursing an injury, but DiJonai's production has been way down lately.

Alanna had a typical stat line, 13 points and 6 rebounds on decent, but not great 4/9 shooting, but also 6 turnovers. If we are going to step up a notch, it would be great if she can be more efficient and more of a threat offensively. Except for that one great game against Ohio State in Vegas, Alanna hasn't made the step up we had hoped.

Fingall had limited opportunities to score, but was efficient when she did.

A great 2-0 start to conference play was what we needed, especially against two tough L.A. schools. We'll have a trip to the Arizona schools, we should beat Arizona, but ASU will be a tough test even with the graduation losses they had.
