was the spark for us,” said head coach Evelyn Thompson. “She provides a level of intensity for
us that makes the rest of the team raise their level of play. She is a dynamo!”

Dasher scored a career-high 15 points and was five-of-seven from behind the arc. Long-range
shots were also falling for Kaitlyn Goodman, who scored a career-best nine points and was
