The rookie from Iowa stepping up came to no surprise for her team.
"That's who she is," Wilson said. "She's high energy always in practice so it was just a matter of time that is translated over to the game."
"She's a pro right now that's the whole statement with her," Aces Head Coach Becky Hammon said. "Her habits, her work ethic, the way she sees the game, she's a great teammate, she just does a lot of little things that help you win."
