The 22-year-old missed nine of her initial 11 shots yet was all the while influencing the game in alternate ways, adding 10 helps and eight bounce back in a total execution. After the first-round triumph, Clark communicated how the initial quarter “disappointed” the entire group, yet they had the option to refocus before long. “This is a game you need to emerge and overwhelm all along,” Clark told columnists. “Perhaps we played with a smidgen of rust. They truly stuffed the paint – they sat four individuals in there, and it’s truly difficult to head to the bushel. “We truly began running our offense in the subsequent quarter. … I assume I was somewhat disappointed, yet I feel that comes from understanding the stuff to be where we need to be.” Kate Martin added 15 focuses with 14 bounce back and Addi O’Grady contributed with 14 places.
