Louisville's home opener will happen on Thursday, Oct. 1st when Syracuse visits Lynn Stadium.
WNBA RECAP
A night that featured games for all three teams that have Louisville women's basketball players on their rosters.
Las Vegas blew out to a 59-41 halftime lead, led by 20 at one point and held on the defeat the Indiana Fever 92-86. The win puts the Aces in sole position of second place in the league at 15-4. A good night for Angel McCoughtry who saw 24 minutes, had 15 points and six rebounds for "the beers squad" -- (Bill Laimbeer). Vegas eliminated Indiana (5-15) from playoff consideration with the win
Washington kept their playoff hopes alive behind the stellar performance of Myisha Hines-Allen in a 89-86 win over the Minnesota Lynx. "Mooks" had 19 first half points for the Mystics and finished the game with 26 points and nine rebounds in 30 minutes. A scary moment -- when Hines-Allen went to the floor wih about four minutes left in the contest with what looked to be an ankle injury. She did return for the final minute of the fourth quarter. A quarter that Washington won 22-16. With the win, Washington (7-13) remained a game behind eighth place Dallas.
New York Liberty took a tough loss to the L.A. Sparks last night 96-70. Former Cardinal great Jazmine Jones did not play in the contest -- head Liberty coach Walt Hopkins indicating before the game that he wanted to play some of the other players on the roster who hadn't seen a lot of time and some of the other rookies. Amanda Zahui B also sat the contest out. Cardinal Kylee Shook, who had been sidelined with a sprained ankle, did return for New York, and contributed five points and two rebounds in 15 minutes.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
