It was her only make of the game. Teammates andfans alike streamed onto the hardwood, and thegame that was to be Redding's coup de grace becameMonti's coup d' etat.
Kinneen made the most of her nine minutes,playing conspicuously aggressive defense onRedding. During one sequence, Kinneen scored alay-up and drew a foul on the offensive end, thenhustled back on defense and coolly ripped the ballfrom Redding's hands for a steal.
Throughout the first half, Redding put herentire repertoire of fadeaways, spot-up jumpersand baseline slashes on display.
"At the beginning of the game, I was reallyfrustrated with my defense--I couldn't even give[Redding] half an inch or else she would score,"Egelhoff said. "Vita was scoring on me three, fourtimes in a row, and I just got really pissed. Ikind of wanted the ball."
Redding's early antics set the stage for thegame's finale. Although the Crimson's lead was ashigh as nine points with 5:33 to play in thesecond half, the Bears erased a good part of it inthe final two minutes.
