Ailene Voison says it's up to Yo: "Yo has to be great, not just good."

Yolanda has a tough match-up, not with LJ, but with Kamila. "We go at it," said Griffith, who gives up 10 pounds or so to Vodichkova. "She's got a big body and tries to keep you off the boards, but my hand always gets to the ball... I'm just a little thinner than she is, but you know in the WNBA you gotta respect everybody's game."

LJ, citing the summer leagues, says Kamila gets the better of it: "I don't know if you've heard the stories from Russia, but Kamila really shuts her down."

Vodichka doesn't have to score a lot or even get a lot of rebounds to win. She just needs to push Yo around and tire her out. In Sunday's game, there were times when it looked like Yo didn't have much gas left in the tank. If the Monarchs are going to win tonight, she will need every ounce of energy she has left.
