Continuing to prove her scoring prowess, utilizing a quick first step. Eaton had a game high 32 off a combination of drives, and mid-range shots. Simmons needs to develop a consistent outside shot, and work on choosing a better shot selection from 15 feet out. Down the stretch Simmons took over the game with 18 second half points, and 10 for 10 from the Free throw line.
