Thanks for the update. I finally got the call. I'm glad this young team put up a fight in game 3. Lots of blocks and they played with heart in game 3 from what I heard. Thanks again.

Well - I was going to post the recap, but you beat me to the punch.
However - I saw UCR's Brittney Murrey play once in HS - setting/hitting out of a 6-2. I think she was her league's MVP that year. Must be tough for her with UCR struggling. Nice to see that they kept game 3 close.
