we have had bad fortune in several past tournaments - 2 torn acl's against harvard; jayne's broken foot; the bogus 5th foul against kristin folkl; jeanette's sprained ankle plus repeated flops by danielle anderson of texas a&m called as charges on kayla pederson; the last-second charge call on candice negating the made 3 by krista rappahan; jamilla failing to lean into the on-rushing machanguana on the last-second 3. in a bad-fortune year, cam might have been whistled for slapping down on the desperation shot by aari. it was about time the breaks went our way.
Most recently, Karlie Samuelson's sprained ankle in the national semifinal game in 2017. She stepped on an opponent's foot. Just bad luck. Stanford was up 9 when she left the game. South Carolina outscored Stanford by 18 after she left the game.
