Davis finished with 14 points including the two game winning free throws. She scored from all over the court including behind the arc. She had some nice moves with the ball spinning to create space and making a bucket for two points. She moved well without the ball, too, finding herself in open passing lanes to create points for her team. She uses her height to create problems on defense, too.
Sierra Wade is an excellent shooter, but she found even more ways this game to contribute with assists. She was finding her teammates that were open to make the points. She also created havoc on defense with blocks making it difficult for 1Dream to find their rhythm. Macy Wike had a great game as well moving all around the court, and she hit a huge three pointer towards the end of regulation. She contributed some strong rebounds ending the possession for the other team or continuing her own team’s possessions. When she had the ball, she did a great job controlling it moving quickly around the court and even making strong moves through contact inside.
1Dream shared the wealth with points. Kylie Lewis and Megan Gallegos both had 7 points. Kylie was an excellent leader controlling the ball well through contact and moving well without the ball. She had some great passes to her teammates and created steals that turned into fast break points for 1Dream. She even had a couple blocks during the weekend showing that she can play good defense on the other end of the court.
Gallegos is tall and knows how to use her height well. She showed off excellent spin moves that converted to two points fo her. She made some smart cuts on offense and knew how to create space in order for her to contribute to her team. Additionally, she showed off a nice midrange jump shot from all over the court.
Mariah Washington finished with 6 points. She has a great midrange jump shot and knows how to move well with the ball using her speed. She shows no fear when fighting through contact and found ways to grab rebounds herself.
Shakiya Nichols was a strong presence inside. There was ice in her veins when she made the game-tying three pointer at the end of regulation in response to Team Carolina’s three pointer. She finished with 5 points.
