It’s a very special moment for me. My teammates made it so much more exciting and knowing they have faith in me is a good feeling.”
Timothy, whose previous best was three 3s in a single game, knew she found her shooting rhythm after draining her third 3 against the Heralds.
“I knew I was hot in shooting the ball,” she said. “I knew if I wanted to hit more shots I had to find the open spots on the floor to maximize my opportunities.”
Wickliffe led 16-9 after the first quarter and 31-13 at halftime.
