Message: [QUOTE="Geesworld, post: 4221208, member: 9484"] Best thing about this game was watching us play lock down defense. f The last handful of games, the team defense has been UCONN like basketball. We have the Usual Suspects, (Evina ONO Williams) that we can count on every night for a defensive impact: however the three that have really caught my eye are Nika, Azzi and Dorka. * Nika Muhl doesn't get a lot of praise, mostly due to her lack of offense. But her defense tenacity has been incredible including the stretch when she was playing high minutes due to injuries. Now that we can extend the pressure she has been even more effective. * Since Azzi has returned from injury her defense has picked up. She's not getting beat off the dribble and she is making more plays (steals, Blocks, Charges) She's not just an offensive threat. * Dorka defensive interior play has really flashed the last couple of games and she has helped stabilize Inside toughness that was struggling early part of the season. Filling in for Liv has really helped her get her footing. Lately, her aggression towards defensive rebound has been a big plus. This team with a healthy bench should be able to sustain a defensive presence during games, that makes other teams irritable. [/QUOTE]
