Missy got in foul trouble in the first quarter, 3 of them I think, and so she sat the second quarter and most of the third. ND was still in the game at that time. When SJ started to pull away, in she went and shortly thereafter, she picked up her fourth. SJ defended her very well. She didn't have much room to maneuver but she did lead a good comeback with little time remaining. If she hadn't been in foul trouble, the game may have taken on a different complexion. Kelly Van Leuuwen slashed to the basket frequently and the defensive breakdown caused some problems for ND. It was a great defensive battle on both sides. SJ pressure defense caused the ball to go out of Missy's hands on the way up the floor. This seemed to disrupt ND's flow.
