01
opener
Sun finally got one, 68-57 over Washington. Ugly game, nobody could buy a bucket. Connecticut's been taking the L all year, so they'll take it.

key player
Nelson-Ododa was the difference inside. 12 and 9, doing all her work in the paint.

hot take
Mystics put up 57 points and they're the team with the winning record? They straight up forgot how to score.
04
deep cut
Georgia Amoore was Washington's whole offense, 14 and 5 dimes, but Kiki Iriafen ate the glass up with 14 boards and it still wasn't enough.
05
exit
Anyway, Connecticut's still 4-15. One win doesn't fix that. We'll see if it carries over next game.
The recap
The Sun snapped out of their funk and grinded out a 68-57 win over the Mystics, who just couldn't buy a bucket all night. Olivia Nelson-Ododa carried the load with 12 and 9 boards, anchoring things in the paint while Connecticut's defense ate Washington up.
Georgia Amoore tried to keep the Mystics afloat with 14 and dished 5 dimes, and Kiki Iriafen crashed the glass for 14 rebounds, but it wasn't enough. Low-scoring slog, but the Sun needed this one bad and finally took care of business at home.
