She got after loose balls, and had countless, steals, rebounds, and assists. In the second game on Day 1 of the event against IGB Wilson, Brookelyn came through in the clutch with 40 seconds left on the clock and scored the game-winning bucket with a u0022And-1u0022 layup that sealed the deal and got her team the win 37-34.
