14-3 UT at the 1st media TO.

Garcia scored UT's 1st 8 points. Bass already 2 offensive fouls - charges taken by Sammi and Nan. She's on the bench which is bad news for the Zips.

22-10. TO Akron

22-12 after 1.

Q still struggling, has only 2. Garcia 8 and Noveroske 6

Akron live stats are as mucked up as Reghi trying to pronounce a player's name. Q made a bucket an missed the and-1 FT. The stats say she has no buckets buy is 2-2 from the line. Uggh.

Nann is on FIYA

29-14. Akron takes another TO.

Garcia up to 11. Q now has 6. Rockets have gotten at least 5 completely uncontested layups off the half-court offense.

33-14 after 2 Q layups, one blowing by Bass in the half-court and 1 in transition after a Goss steal. Akron calls their 3rd time-out, not even halfway thru Q2

Barnes joins the scoring with a three off a nice assist from Noveroske

Barnes has 7. Someone fine Rehgi $100 every time he says "so-lee-al barnes". Already said it at least 4 times.

Dykstra the theft from Bass. Good play.

Got very sloppy the last minute or two, but despite that, still up by 19

42-25 at the half. Akron scored the last 9 points.

But, Dykstra, Curry and Barnes all got big minutes.

Garcia with 11 points in 8 minutes of play.
Q with 10, Noveroske 8, Barnes 7

Q also had 4 assists. Rockets with 4 blocks, 2 from Hannah.

Akron finished the half on a 9-0 run. Dykstra getting lots of minutes but struggling. Sure hope that Swetland is a point guard.

"struggling" is a little much. She made some good plays and a couple bad ones. She was playing mostly with the rest of the bench players. Her defensive instincts look good. She needs time on the floor to really see what she will be.

BTW, Sammi passed 800 rebounds in the 1st half. She's 9th place all-time right now.

That foul was way before the shot was taken.

Cook is back to her layup difficulties again.

Didn't look like Q traveled there, but that's what they called. Let's see if they correctly take away the earlier three from Akron that they should be reviewing now.

Apparently they didn't wave off the three. Terrible call.

Clear push-off on the Akron player, but they call the foul on Q.
