Rayven had 7 assists, which was a highlight for her. But she shot 33% (4-12) and Nika shot 66%. And Nika was a focus of the SC defense — which was a good tactic, btw. It turned out that Lou was more than able to take up the slack at pg. And speaking of Lou, she owned Beal, Kierra and Rayven. And Griffin at the wing too. Two years ago, Beal looked like she’d grow into another DiDi Richards. She got torched by Paige that season when she was assigned to face guard her. It seemed like she’d gotten stronger and smarter in the meantime, and watching her this season, albeit against weaker competition, she looked strong. Today it was clear that she was not able to stop Lou or Aubrey It’s a similar story for Zia. She’s been on a tear offensively lately, but it’s mainly been against cream puff opponents. Today, she got Muhl-ed. Still, the fact is Boston Saxton and Cardoso were enough to be the difference in the game. They shut down Dorka and couldn’t contain Edwards. But they dominated the boards, and Boston and Cardoso couldn’t be contained on offense. I love that this was such a competitive hard fought game. I hope they meet again in the FF or the NC game.
