The Bench:
I thought the bench and specifically DePaepe, Jones and Wade was the deciding factor in the game. DePaepe came in at the 12:05 mark of the first half with EWU leading 12-2. In the next 12 minutes, she had 5 points on 2-4 fg and 1-2 ft, 3 of her 4 assists ( 2nd on the team) , one block and 2 rebounds. At the half the score was EWU 31, PSU 26. She jump started the Vikings when they were doing nothing right. She played 2 minutes in the second half.
Wade's only real playing time began when she entered the game at the 16:22 mark of the second half with PSU leading 38-37. She went to the bench at the 11:01 mark.. During this 5 minute period, she had 3 offensive (2nd on the team) and one defensive rebound, two steals and one assist. When she was substituted for, PSU led 53-41. She played a little over one minute during the remainder to the game.
Jones: Played 27 minutes and had 8 points on 2-3 three pointers, 2 assists and only one turnover.
