Dominating, that’s the word that you would use when describing the effect Senior A’Rianna Harris had on the entire game against Suzy Merchant’s Michigan State Spartans.

That domination included 15 points, ten rebounds and seven blocked shots.

More so, Harris affected the Spartans team has they time after time altered their shots around the basket forcing shots banging off the rim.

Purdue on the other hand got control of the game early behind the aforementioned Harris and Fort Wayne Junior Karissa McLaughlin.
