After a tough night on Thursday at Stanford in which she failed to score in double figures for only the third time this season, she came back on Saturday at Cal and tied her season high with 20 points, including the game-winner with five-tenths of a second left. The emotional finish came after the Sun Devils made a furious comeback from down 10 with 4:30 left. The win snapped California's five-game winning streak and it now places the Sun Devils at 13-7 (5-4 in Pac-10 play), which has them tied for fourth in the conference.</p>
