Lucia Alonso opened the season struggling with her shot. In four of the team’s first five games, the junior guard scored only three points.
Her coach never doubted that her shots would fall, though. The opening minutes of the Wildcats’ game against the University of the Incarnate Word showed why.
Alonso opened the game with a three. Two possessions later, it was another trey on the fastbreak. By the end of the first quarter, she was 4-4 from the field—all three-point shots. She would stay perfect until almost half-way through the second quarter.
At the end of the game, Alonso had put up 14 points on 5-for-8 shooting.
