Shirts also made one free throw. Redman made three free throws on two trips to the charity stripe. Johnson to Fuller for the THREE, 9-2. Shirts putback her own "O" rebound. Redman with the rejection on defense. Redman for two, 13-2. Rachael Lee pulled down an offensive rebound, passed to Redman who fired to Johnson for the THREE!
