Moe scored a team-high 15 points against the Spartans to help West advance to the Final Four. Moe was incredibly efficient shooting the ball for the Jaguars. She was a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line and was just as accurate from long range by going 3-for-3 from 3-point land. She missed just one shot all game long.
