tough defense turned to hard to believe but it's a lot better to get the duck you so much Meg as Connecticut for defensive prowess and and Harris to start for Stephanie white as the reverse Atkins does not go as kington flies in from side can on the shock block Jones this time at G inside always has when she was at Mar and timing in there Jones comes too strong on that one as Sykes pulls down

weekend holiday how about that barbecue and who's cooking out Washington looking to execute were at practice yesterday they're working on a two seconds SES got by carington lays it up and a head back to the free throw line an intentional effort attacking the hoop I love when she is activated in that way the intentionality behind two four from the free throw line so already you look at a lot of other ways to impact the game as hand and she's four steals coming into this game four steals away for 300 to Van L quick trigger does not easy Outlet passes trying to slow the pace for Connecticut he wants to push it and Veronica Burton will check in here early for Coach white before the trade deadline actually and just another viable threat from the outset CH Burton the three that falls well I like You' got to scramble out of those double teamson with the deflects DOA inside gets that to go up over the rim defenders in the game end up guarding each other on both ends as they're going to get a wara so that shot isn't free and easy on the spray out and now they're going to get Thomas on the SC so they're officials Christie seem to be Sykes will take it this time doesn't go you're open they're going to give you a second to shoot you got to let it go just like Ken that not to go over slow the defense down enough to get that shot off ATS last three wins in a row come down the defense a little show comes back middle doesn't get that to fall carington a lot of confidence right now Connecticut has that block by Burton one of the best defensive players in the country during her collegiate career has to Let It Go outs Off the Mark again when the pin is pulled out of the grenade and it comes your way you got to the mystics are are working with Edwards on npoint lead here for Connecticut boner trying to add to it can't connect love Carly Samson is back on the floor for the Washington Miss as well and that gets lost she gets tagged when anytime it's a leg injury in any capacity don't Carly Samuel said you know you want to run her off that three-point line when you have that and the ability to stretch the floor she only play 12 minutes left that short leave with something on this play here leaving here with something offensive board and just get in your shooting motion you're going to get the whistle no one's bench M Squad yeah Mo minutes off bench to the corner b attacking pull up J doesn't go con with a rebound decipher where to put the ball with a pass but Sone is what you were saying as the whistle blows too and at Chicago really solid bucket making five on the shot clock Walker Kimbro lost her footing clock if Washington wins the tip and it'll be Burton and little pass fake had to put that up it's boner running the floor and unfortunately con not what Erico and his staff want to see but that's why she got the foul she got into the body because her feet were not a St five games she's been struggling a bit from the floor shooting under 30 of course with the mytic a season high at Dallas on August 14th that one didn't say anything was quiet she splits the pair there little floater benched to see if he should challenge she said I did not touch her at all so I think they may have a a case s it's very clear for us we don't have even saw it real time as well too though as a coach chrisy you're a full in college too for 10 years and listen I wish we would have had it same kind of emphatic so he'll retain a challenge for later on in this game as well it will be jumping up at Center Court right jump it up and Connecticut will retain The Possession B three in the corner touches every part of the two seconds attacking the clock too strong con trying toly Sam out of the quarter break with the three and gets back to drop in front of the rim angler that back cuttic this [Applause] season oh no and neither coach wants to see this at all for USA Women's Basketball eight in a row for them KS Rises and connects a 9-2 run here's Harris as she connects make that first on Staley her coach Atkins back to back two smooth ones Dro for AA ball between Jones and Conan don't get itly enshrined into the mystics Hall of Fame here she she could do it she could see this it's in strikings [Music] late [Applause] great Paris getting the shot clock spins off Jones could not get that to finish he stated earlier angler it looked like that could have been a jump ball Emily angler was right there by it was deemed a f I thought it was clean it looked pretty good picked up by Atkins Harris Baseline cut and the Finish along that short Corner area along the basine got to have the takeway steps into it and knocks it down talk team causes the deflection misses the layup flips that one up drops it home continue to attack that and an offensive foul is going to be called that Alysa Thomas is questionable to return and I'll update you when I have more guys update from the Sun PR we'll make sure to get it yeah couldn't complete that one karon that was a really whistle Sutton attacking nice drop off to dson Defenders and then dropping the dime on the weak side Dolson on the defensive end Dolson in transition count it baby inside lays it up and in back to Edwards too strong in a shot clock VI the WNBA shooting 49% from three from three just two made threes as a loocking foul had 10 of those right and then against La she had eight assists so she exit boner Connecticut lead now sits at 3932 inside kicks it Edwards nice little short jumper the mystics but play quality defense taking charges in that Chicago and that little mid-range slot shot this P up jumper does not go loose beneath the rim Bor comes back for the lay and somehow finish Edwards great bounce pocket pass from the six quality playmaker for the team block from dolon inside sights block from Carrington okay GDIT defens play of the game B attacking too strong off the window doones attacking lays it up and in Carrington was her match right there and she had a head kn going back here on that next possession going right back to it 57% free throw shooter but does get the first here in the last eight games Nelson adota is shooting 72% from the floor Works off Edwards pull up that one fall snuggle that one in Atkins on the Low cross with the layup and the kick it boner attacking has it stripped and at now 2800 block mayy Nelson ad DOA and Atkin is set to put Carly Samson back in with a short clock here before he's going to be the recipient of some action to get a touch and shot five from the floor six points 13 minutes of play [Applause] time syes left that SW as major T will come to a close and a three-point deficit for Washington maintain that and continue to carve away here's Dolson to the game about their three-point defense out to contest dolon shots so you have to trust your speed to get out and contest triples M answers with a three for to the paint and then those spray out abilities Atkins is second offensive rebound for Connecticut and it leads Connecticut van three is Off the Mark number and connects again Ando has seen enough to start this third saw what she wanted she's congratulating her team and saying good job but there in transition lays it up and in it's now an 11 away like a grae for Ariel Atkins in the open court Connecticut they have an advantage and Sykes is grabbing at her left any other way they've got to blow the whistle right because they're in live ball to see it with a foot injury an ankle injury too long ago continues to battle back getting to 100% know that she is a warrior she has a warrior Spirit to see Britney syes giving the fans some love that she had to ask herself do you want this and she Edward S here's Jones inside couldn't get back to go but I coached against Bri Jones in high school and I think we had all five players 40 on us but was not good see I was going to leave it alone and not ask that and makes this angler that one's Off the Mark maybery with the re and five of seven in the last couple of games for the mystics boner able inler nice rip and pull doesn't go Jones Jones inside doesn't for one angler that falls she has been incredibly effective since the Olympic break angler got down low nice little touch off the to catch up with Emily angler she was talking about that fire that she has in did not stick there to DC did not stick here going back to what Britney Sykes was saying do you want this and I think Emily angler on her left quad as well too as boner is to win said we've become one of the best defensive teams in the league after Let's It Fly [Music] that one hit every angler attacking high off the window this one will that one doesn't go van tracks her those are shots we've seen her hit as we see M hit points Walker Kimbro toilet carington thought about it will attack Baseline for Britney syes she has just been n and 10 C right when you get all of the you can play chestn not Checkers with that right and or not I think she has that mindset that she just wants to be on the bench with her team AB getting outlet and unfortunately it will when that happens what do the others have to be doing and he said you know but no one moved immediately on that one point line ton with the little D I like angler has it taken away by B up the floor back in meld they fought for that possession on the opposite end and she has when it comes to anticipation she's always going Toler has found a way to impact the game in some capacity B kicked it dolon to melbin that three's Off the Mark as Dolson that one rattles home now you can dial it up a little stronger on the defensive side reliable score from R Sam the mark there Nelson attacking too strong on the layup DOL couldn't connect mayy little hesitation the floater she has perfected honor as she will get to the free throw line with the whistle call the H tapped her on the arm too bad on that [Applause] but carington lost the handle and steps in and out of B let's see what Washington looks for here con must been on that screening action she was trying to stay connected to her Harris 3 connects something that has been a big chunk of offensive production for con the first gets her own rebound kicks it to Burton for three she rattles at home table as Ariel Atkins gets the pullup jumper making her way back to the floor Harris here melbin that one falls from the corner Carrington Corner Melvin Atkins needed it Harris left that short it back melbin count it caring five on the shot clock and an offensive F about that one slim with the Run kicks it angler three

back Dolson another one Harris with the rebound and they're going to wave off the five this afternoon from range Jones with the lay in nice in the paint for both teams Atkins of that close out on May and just ma goes Baseline Atkins Rises May with the rebound six on the shot clock and a carry is called Miss by Tai Harris as she tried to attack that the dribble alive angler will attack drop off and just slip goes to her on the Lop collects and gets it off the window Sykes foul line jumper too strong boner the lob inside left it short by Briana Jones that's Elite she had her Basics and the fundamentals get things done here for the clean up left it short and it been t for Washington to get the stops necessary and Connecticut is the WNBA from there little in out dribble off the spin and it'll be M clock and Sykes will take it stuck under that screen though almost got that triple in transition gets it to angler for the L really good Harris getting to the hoop and will head also
