Aces Blowout Preseason Win

Wilson appears very emotional after the outcome of this game performing as a professional for the first time in her hometown. Colonial Life Arena is also the home stadium for her alma mater, the South Carolina Gamecocks.

Blowout Victory

First quarter of this exhibition was not a clear indication of the final outcome in any shape or form. Las Vegas only led by ten points and leading the Aces was guard, Jackie Young with seven points.

In the second quarter is where the defense of Vegas began to overwhelm Puerto Rico as they did not score for almost five minutes of play. By halftime, the Aces now held a 36-point lead over them leaving miniscule opportunities for a competitive contest.

Shooters from each team felt great discrepancies with the rim as the Aces seemed to connect on many pullup jump shots while and Puerto Rico did not. Conclusion to this game ended with a blowout score of 102 to 50.
