The bonus: “We focused on No. 32 (Loyd),” said Panthers forward La Terria Taylor. “We knew that she was their go-to player, so we played her hard. That stopped their offense and slowed things down, and they were a little confused. And we were very intense on defense. That intensity had them a little shaky on offense.”
