Making
the Grade
Sandora
Irvin: B+
20 points, 11 rebounds, two blocks, two assists, one steal
Foul trouble plagued the star forward much of the game,
especially early in the first half. The junior was forced
to sit on the bench for a majority of the game’s
first 20 minutes. Irvin still played well enough to record
her 15th consecutive double-double. Playing the entire
second half in foul trouble, however, Irvin wasn’t
as aggressive as usual on either end of the floor. Irvin’s
cautious play allowed for a big night from Georgia’s
Christi Thomas, who scored 19 points and 12 rebounds before
fouling out.
Kim Ortega: C
Seven points, one rebound, one assist, one rebound
Ortega struggled once again to find her shot Monday night,
just as she did in the tournament’s first game against
Temple. The senior guard ended her career against Georgia
with a poor 2-of-10 shooting from the floor, including
1-of-7 from behind the 3-point line. As usual, Ortega
played aggressive defense on every Lady Bulldogs’
possession down court. In the end, the young Georgia guards
were just too fast and quick for Ortega and the Lady Frogs
defense to contain.
Ebony Shaw: C-
Two points, three rebounds, one steal
An apparent leg cramp early in the first half had Shaw
taken to the bench and attended to by trainers. After
that point, Shaw didn’t look like her normal self
on the court, leading to her ending her career at TCU
with a two point and three rebound performance. The senior
guard, who is second on the team in scoring, only attempted
three shots all night.
Tracy Wynn: C+
Two points, two rebounds, six steals
Wynn recorded an impressive six steals against Georgia,
but other than that she wasn’t too much of a factor
Monday night. The senior scored only two points on 1-of-4
shooting and grabbed two rebounds. Like Shaw and Ortega,
Wynn hoped to end her collegiate career on a better note
than she did. The six steals, though, helped the Lady
Frogs claw back into the game, giving the team a chance
to make a great comeback.
Natasha Lacy: B-
Six points, six rebounds, four assists, one steal
The freshman point guard continues to impress with her
passing abilities. At times, it seems like her passes
are so good that they catch her teammates off guard, as
the four turnovers indicate. Lacy did a good job off the
boards grabbing six rebounds, many of which led to fast
break opportunities for the Lady Frogs. The four turnovers
were a little high and her poor free-throw shooting needs
to be attended to during the offseason. |
