Clark had an aggressive mindset throughout the game
During a post-game interview, Clark revealed that she played aggressively, always seeking to shoot 3-pointers.
“Honestly, I think I just played with an aggressive mindset. I think that was the biggest thing; I just wanted to play downhill the best I could. I would have liked to have made a couple more threes … but I thought we did some good things and then we just kinda shoot ourselves in the foot.” Clark said.
