Two pre-season games on Friday, May 5:
Minnesota Lynx beat Washington Mystics, 72-69
Lynx won the game because/despite starting two rookies...and getting good results from them. Perhaps the most solid performance was UConn alum Dorkha Juhasz's 11 pts (4-7 from the floor) and 10 rebounds. Both Diamond Miller (Maryland) and Napheesa Collier
shot 5-12 from the field. However, Miller got the line a lot (8-12) and finished with 19 points, while 'Phee had 10 points, but also snagged 8 rebounds.
The Mystics started vets and brought new players/rookies off the bench. Evina Westbrook (UConn) scored 7 points and grabbed 3 rebounds in 25 minutes of playing time, while newly signed Emily Engstler, in 8 minutes, scored 4 points and had 4 rebounds.
Dallas Wings beat Chicago Sky, 75-70
Both teams started vets/familiar names, with the Wings being led by Teaira McCowan's 17 points and 8 rebounds, Natasha Howard's 11 points and 8 rebounds and Arike Ogunbowale's 10 points. While Veronica Burton started, played just under 20 minutes and contributed 8 points and 4 assists, Crystal Dangerfield had 9 points and 4 assists in just over 20 minutes. Chicago played without Ruby Hebard and Marina Mabrey.
