Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3083006, member: 6620"] Jonson: Jessica Shepard was, indeed, a nightmare for Oregon last year, scoring 18 points, snaring 9 rebounds and generally sending bodies flying underneath. However, the leads in both rebounding and scoring belonged to other Irish: Jackie Young had 13 rebounds and 6 assists (although she "only" had 8 points). But the leading scorer for the Irish was the least expected: forward Kat Westbeld went for 20 points on her usual assortment of elbow jumpers, drives to the basket and put-backs. On the latter, she no doubt benefited from the tag-teaming of Shep and Young, but she was always a savvy player, able to find her spots. That was her optimal offensive game for the Irish in the playoffs. In fact, all the Irish hit the boards that game. Kat also had 7 bounds, while guards Mabrey (15 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists) and Ogunbowale (19 points, 6 rebounds) pitched in, too. Turner does not have Westbeld's jump shots, but she is moving and leaping well again to tag team with Shepard. And I have no doubt Young will offer the mid-range jumper in lieu of Kat. [/QUOTE]
