During the Arizona Wildcats game against the Tritons, Jada Williams was having a great time. However, she was unfortunately forced to leave the game due to an offensive foul and a severe injury. Arizona coach Adia Barnes talked about the team’s defense as they prepared to play UC San Diego, stating that “this week has been a lot of teaching.” The reason for their loss in the last game against UNLV was due to their defense, not their offense.

UNLV scored 40 points during the first half. In the middle of an intense game with impressive three-point shots, the Wildcats’ star player had to leave after a hard fall, causing concern for her teammates and fans.

With 8 minutes and 54 seconds left in the 4th quarter, the Wildcats were leading by 59 points. During a dribble and score attempt by Triton’s Breya Cunningham, she collided with Jada Williams, resulting in a hard hit and Williams falling to the floor. The referees called it an offensive foul instead of the wrong rim on the floor.

For Arizona, Jada Williams scored a game-high 15 points, while Breya Cunningham recorded a double-double. Williams made five of nine field goals, three of which were three-pointers, while Breya Cunningham finished with a double-double, scoring twelve points (6 of 7) and grabbing ten rebounds.

In addition to forcing 28 turnovers from UC San Diego to establish a season-best, Arizona’s 10 made three-pointers in the game were also the team’s highest of the season. With 18 thefts in the game, the squad tied its own record for most this year.
