Kiah helps NY edge ATL in OT

[MilfordHusky]

The Rookie of the Month for August started September nicely, with 10 points (5-5 shooting), 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 steals, and 4 blocks in 36 minutes. She was also +21.

Tina had 17 and Tiff had 15.

Best part is there were a couple of times where she was aggressive on offense including one great where she dribbled around a player and went in for a layup and another strong post up move.

Love this young woman. I'm so proud of her!

Besides as outlined above, she seemed to be a part of almost every play. A mighty contributor.

In 36 minutes, she was +21 and they won by 5. That tells me that their D stunk when she was not in...and that is what happened. Dream crushed it in start of Q3 -- when Kiah was not in the game.

Stokes is the bomb

Love Kiah - so proud and happy for her - One other statistic is that in her 36 minutes, she only committed 1 foul. Pretty incredible considering Sugar Rogers had 5, Charles had 3, and Cash had 2 in 11 minutes.

Kiah is on the floor at the end of Liberty games as she is a defensive asset. Did you see her reject Angel late in the 4th quarter? I think every loose ball in overtime, on the defensive end, had her hands on it. What hustle. Way to go girl.

Kiah has become a defensive intimidator. The other team's guards look to see where she is before they think of penetrating.

Yeah, she had a nice swat on Angel's attempt late in the game.

On one possession, she got the ball near the right corner, took a few dribbles into the lane with her LEFT hand, and put up a jump hook with the same hand. It was as aggressive as I've seen her on the offensive end. It was a vintage Tina Charles move. I think she is learning from the former MVP.
