Freshman guard Tyra James passes the ball to sophomore guard Naddiyah Cross in a game against Northern Illinios on Wednesday, Jan. 27, 2016. The Flashes won 95-85.
“I wish I could tell you I was surprised that Larissa played this way with our backs against the wall, but I’m not,” Coach Danielle O’ Banion said, of the junior’s performance.
In the fourth quarter, Northern Illinois was determined to fight their way back into the game one way or another. The Huskies weren’t just going to give it to the Flashes, they were going to make them earn it.
