Senior center Merissa Barber-Smith couldn’t leave the court until she grabbed her last rebound.
“I kept looking up, and thought I can do better,” Barber-Smith said. “I said to coach ‘keep me in as long as possible, I will give you rebounds.’ That’s my specialty.”
With less than a minute remaining, junior guard Jess Wallis’ 3-point shot fell just short of the net and Barber-Smith snatched her 20th rebound of the game.
