"Our guards did a great job offensively, Miranda got everyone involved, dishing out 11 assists and adding eight points. Natalie and Ally made some shots. And, Carsyn didn't take long to get her 1,000th point. Shelby, Bria Barr and Skyler did a nice job as always. Shelby is really starting to play better."
