What happened: Emily Engstler buried a 24-foot three-point jumper off a Kamiah Smalls assist with 6:43 left in the third quarter. The bucket trimmed the deficit to 44-46.

Why it matters: The connection is becoming a pattern in this game, with Engstler and Smalls combining repeatedly from beyond the arc to keep their side within striking distance. Sustained perimeter shooting from this duo has been the throughline of a low-scoring contest decided at the margins.

What to watch: Watch whether Engstler continues to get clean looks from 24-plus feet and whether the trailing side can flip the score before the fourth.
