Bugarski also had a wonderful performance in the game as she and Rienas were sensational all day. In the first quarter, like her Senior companion, she drained three shots from beyond the arc. It was an incredible showing from the Bobcats in the first quarter but it was a near unstoppable execution by the Serbian native. She closed out her game with 16 points.
