HONORS Player of the game: Pride center Vanessa Gidden Even in a losing effort, Gidden put on a spectacular effort in the Pride's 71-65 defeat this past Sunday. Scoring a season-high 20 points and grabbing 12 rebounds, Gidden's play was especially prevalent down the stretch when the team needed it most.

OFFENSE: B+ The offense posted very good numbers, scoring 26 points-per-game and ranking second in the conference in passing and total offense. Junior QB Anton Clarkson, in his first year as full-time starter, had his growing pains in the Pride's pass-happy scheme, but threw for over 300 yards-per-game.
