Maya - Really great to see a strong game from Maya, had some nice drives from the high post for tough layups.  Mostly impressed by her defense.  She got lost sometimes on defense during her freshman year but played well against a constantly shifting princeton offense.  And I think she did a great job guarding Bertsch.  Yes it was a team effort on Bertsch but Maya's shot-blocking is pretty darn intimidating for an opposing post.

Lexie - Struggled a bit (missed some layups and slipped/ turned the ball over) but still a very impressive debut for a freshman.  Double double in her first college game and I think she is only going to get better.  Is the definition of college-ready.  I think her best quality is her high motor and competitiveness.

Jenna - I liked what I saw.  Yes she only scored twice but they were the kind of baskets that we had none of last year, namely driving into the lane, no pass is available, so point guard has to take the teardrop or short jumper.  Last year we drove into the lane and if there was no layup or pass, we would likely force a pass and turn the ball over.  Plus she had a very nice layup through contact that was called an offensive foul (but seemed more like a blocking foul to me)

Maya: Best game at Stanford that I've seen (which is almost all home games). Against the smaller Aggies her athleticism was enough to get some great rebounds, but I still worry that her blocking out is not great yet.  Still, it was a very good game for her with some nice low post moves and put-backs.

Lexie (and Lacie): It is great to have that length, quickness and hustle on the team. We will win more races to long rebounds, etc. If the outside shooting becomes reliable, watch out. 

Jenna: I'd add that she had one very nice drive and dish for an assist on a layup and one pull-up 5 foot jumper, a great shot for a point guard to have. Her ball-handling was a bit ragged at times but I saw a burst of speed that could make her really special. A couple of times she just blew past a defender trying to pester her as she brought the ball up.
