“I knew it was a close game and I knew we needed some buckets,” Eckley-Jones told the CDT after that game. “So, I had to lock in and get it done. I just let my teammates get me the ball in the right position and I just score. I look to help, I look to facilitate, but if we need a bucket, I’ll get it.”
