Blake’s junior campaign with Terry Sanford may not have concluded as planned, but she can still be proud of the performance she put forth to keep her Bulldogs in a spot to win. She would win East Most Outstanding Player honors following her 21-point outing. One can place Blake in a team’s starting five at either of the guard spots in the backcourt. A strong point of Blake is how she remains in attack mode and has no problems drawing contact to get to the free throw line. Blake was true on seven of her nine attempts from the free throw line. Her 10 rebounds gave her a double-double and she also collected a steal.
