The Washington Mystics had every reason to give in, down 21, missing two of their big guns in Tayler Hill and Elena Delle Donne. Hill is gone for the season, suffering an ACL injury on that long road trip. Delle Donne is out with a sprained ankle, after tumbling three spots down the standings, Washington couldn’t afford to head into... Read More

The Mystics were able to head into the All-Star break on a positive note, topping the Atlanta Dream yesterday in an epic overtime thriller. They’ll get a few days to get away from each other and gear up for the second half of the season. It was a total team performance that got them that win yesterday and they’ll need... Read More

The Washington Mystics continue to win at home, they topped the Atlanta Dream 78-72. It was much harder than it should have been though, Washington had pushed their lead to 18 not once, but twice in this one. Poor execution on offense contributed to turnovers and a general lax effort on both ends of the floor. The Dream sensed... Read More

It was in Uconn Country, maybe not the heart of it, but Bridgeport is still in Connecticut. The home of Husky faithful and a place that truly loves Women’s basketball, the crowd enjoyed a dominant showing from the US National Team. They jumped on Canada early and never looked back, winning in blowout fashion 83-43. It was more of what... Read More

The Washington Mystics did something for the first time this season last night, they won a home game. That’s big in it’s own right and even bigger considering it was just the first of a five game home stand for the Mystics. They’ve gotten five of their six wins on the road this season, so putting together a 40 minute... Read More

The Washington Mystics have struggled mightily at home this season. It’s been a combination of things, whether it’s slow starts, sloppy ball handling, or just poor shot selection. However, they’re a totally different team on the road. That wasn’t the case against the Dream to start a five game home stand. They jumped all over the Dream and beat them... Read More

The Mystics continue to play well on the road, winning back-to-back road games to move within two games of .500. Last night in Texas, Washington topped the Dallas Wings 87-79. Prior to that, they went to Atlanta and topped the Angel McCoughtry led Dream 86-79, handing the East leading Dream just their second loss of the year. Washington has gotten... Read More

The Washington Mystics were back at home, to end out their regular season against Atlanta Dream. This series has been tough one for Washington, losing three contests against Atlanta this season. The Mystics came into the game after a road trip to New York, which resulted in a win. Coming in tonight with an 18-15 record, the Mystics held the fourth... Read More

The window is closing on the WNBA regular season, the Washington Mystics still have a few games left. They’re currently at the end of a week long road trip that has been very frustrating from a result stand point, but has shown just how strong a team they have. The Mystics have truly missed veteran Kara Lawson during this trip,... Read More
