Thoughts on the game: In the first half of the game, I thought both teams looked evenly matched. The Trojanettes just took over at the start of the second half and never looked back from there. The Trojanettes' Amiah Lukowski had a really good game. She scored 17 points and Lisa Radziak also had a pretty good game, scoring 16 points. For Dallas, Gianna Centrella looked very good, scoring nine points.
