It wasn't a pretty game in Venice, but we pulled out the win. Let's just say this, when I came out with 3 minutes left in the game, I was the leading scorer with NINE points. That's correct, we almost not only finished, but won a road game without anyone in double digit scoring. They fouled one of our guards three times in the last minute, however, and she hit 6 FT to end up with 11.
There was a moment before the game, that it actually hit me what was happening. It was kind of a surreal feeling. It hit me that I was playing in the Italian championship semi-finals on the road! Me! And at that point, I was just so thankful for where I had arrived and was able to find my "calm center" or whatever you want to call it, and was able to just have fun and enjoy the pressure.
We play game 2 tomorrow, and then game 3 Tuesday, both at home. Hopefully that will be it for the series and then off to the finals!
wow, that must have been a frustrating game, without the "calm center" it might have been a restlessness night...but a W none the less
