Oshauna Holland is so smooth handling the ball getting to the basket and scoring with ease creating her own open lanes. She makes her own plays setting herself up around the perimeter to drain it from deep, and she sees her open teammates inside making the nice dish. It’s fitting that she hit her 1000th point getting to the rim and making an old fashioned three point play. She does it all getting inside for rebounds, especially on offense getting those second chances. She can handle things on the block like a post player bouncing off her defender to pull up for the shot. On defense, she easily picks the pocket of her opponents taking it the other direction.
Highlights
London Barber battles for every rebound on both ends of the court and even dives on the floor for loose balls to gain possession. She makes plays for her teammates, too, with her ability to attack the gaps making the defense crash around her as she gets the pass to her open teammate. She was facilitating offensive plays with ease getting things set up to score.
Highlights
Ameya Brown had a strong second quarter knocking down a couple from around the arc to regain the lead for her team. She’s a tough on ball defender reading her opponents and being able to block the path they want to go while knocking the ball away. She drives to the hoop hard making plays off the dribble, too.
Highlights
Jaidiah Blake scored three the old fashioned way attacking the basket and not backing down. As a freshmen, she is already so smooth handling the ball making it fun to watch her jab steps and spin moves into the paint that usually leads to contact, so she can finish from the free throw line. She can knock it down from deep, too, scoring points on all levels.
