What happened
Sug Sutton drained a 25-foot three-pointer off a feed from Bridget Carleton with 1:31 remaining in the second quarter. The make narrowed the score to 35-37, keeping the contest within a single possession heading toward halftime.
Why it matters
Deep perimeter shooting from the point of attack changes how the defense can play ball-screen actions in the second half. A timely transition-style three off an assist also signals offensive rhythm building between Sutton and Carleton as the game approaches the break.
What to watch
Watch whether Sutton stays on the floor to close the half and whether the Carleton-Sutton two-player game continues to generate open looks from beyond the arc.
