Best, thrived off guarding her opponent above the three point line as she stayed in her opponents front pocket, as she finished with two on-ball steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pallotti looks to be in mid-season form already. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["943374"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6acaccb512246"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lynan's consistent on the ball pressure seemed to be the difference as she held her opponent's point guard scoreless and unable to penetrate the lane. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Meadows, slides her feet well in open space and smart enough to force her defender to the baseline once in the short corner. She finishing with three rebounds and two steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Offensively, Lynan is a game manager who can run the offensive efficiently. During the first quarter, she was able to get into the paint on drop a nice bounce pass to her cutting teammate, finishing with three assists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In one transition of plays, Ms. Meadows recapped the quality of player college coaches look for.

Starting the game as Pallotti's 'big' Ms. Carey was assigned to defend a big who stood a few inches over her.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>First half, Jordan was able to keep their primary interior offense scoreless by denying the post entry pass with two deflections. Once her opponent was able to receive the entry pass, Carey defended smart by using her size and feet to stay in between her person and basket.
