She's pulled but comes back in at about the 8:00 point in Q3. She single-handedly turns the game around by her drives (mostly from beyond the foul line), and some steals.

Defense? She guards no one, just sorta stands in front of the basket, and tries to help (to be fair, China was slicing through Nigeria all game; having someone clog the middle was a decent strategy). But this game didn't show off her defense.
Maybe it was nerves, or maybe she never really got the ball in the first quarter (I take it she was a new addition to the team). But she shined offensively in the 2nd half.
She looks like a great addition to Stanford, esp. when she can be taught defense (assuming she's quick enough to defend against NCAA players).
