With O'Brien, a 6-1 senior, at the top of their 1-2-2 press, Lyons can force turnovers because of her long wingspan that forces a litany of deflections and errant passes. "My teammates give me confidence," said O'Brien, who finished with 13 points and eight rebounds. "I just wanted to find ways to impact the game so I could stay in the flow because eventually I need to make those shots." Lyons was able to win 55-42 against Lincoln-Way East because…...
