We win 66-50.
Hannah Jump led our scorers with 21 points. I want to take the time for a shoutout to her. She has gone from a three-point specialist off the bench to an important starter contributing not just with her three point shot, but playing good defense annd adding variety to her offensive game. It's been a pleasure to see her development and she has worked her way up to being an important part of the starting lineup.
Brink had a good game as well, 14 points and 16 rebounds, which again, underscores the numbers she can put up, if she can stay on the floor and minimize her foul issues.
We only had five turnovers and grabbed 24 offensive rebounds. Unfortunately, that latter stat was due to us missing so many shots, we were a mediocre 32.9% from the floor and 24.1% from long range. Our offense did not look sharp today.
Gonzaga also started getting a lot of o-boards, often getting second or even third opportunities at the basket and ending up with 16 offensive rebounds.
Even though we outscored them in each quarter, it was a little disappointing that they kept within striking range late in the game, forcing Tara to keep her starters in. I believe all of them was still playing at the final buzzer despite the 16-pt victory. It would have been nice to extend the lead early in the fourth so that we could protect our starters and give the bench more playing time.
It was interesting to see the bench play much more in the first half than the second as a result.
