Marshall was also a huge asset aside from shooting with five rebounds, four steals, and 3 assists.
"Andreanna showed a lot of leadership tonight," says Stanislaus head coach Sharon Turner. "That was what I was looking for from her. This is something our team needs, especially from a senior."
Senior center Katie Busi contributed offensively with 19 points despite being in foul trouble most of the game. She also had seven rebounds. Freshmen Lauren Godde chipped seven points with 15 boards. Rosa Tirado also knocked in seven points.
