By Cardell Dudley In a game that will be remembered more for a halftime dance contest due to a 48 minute delay caused by a leak in the Capital One Arena roof, Krystal Thomas dominated inside with a career high 20 points and game high 14 rebounds to lead Washington to a 100-80 win over the Indiana Fever, improving to...

The Mystics entered yesterday’s game with a one game lead over Phoenix for the fourth spot in the WNBA standings. The fourth spot guarantees a postseason bye so both teams were highly motivated coming into this game. Washington received consistent play from Kristi Toliver (20 points), Krystal Thomas (16 rebounds), Tierra Ruffin-Pratt (17 points) and Emma Meesseman (15 points). In addition... Read More

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 knew they would face adversity this season, they are currently sitting in that place right now. They’ve returned home from a five-game road trip that saw them win just once and that win, came at a cost. They have one more game before the All-Star break, Wednesday morning when they host the Atlanta Dream. Hill was averaging... Read More

Going into this WNBA season, the Mystics made a big splash in the offseason by acquiring a top five WNBA player in Elena Delle Donne. Imagine Delle Donne pairing with Emma Meesseman in the front court. The matchup problems that could create were having opposing coaches shook. There was only one problem. Emma would leave the team three games into... Read More

The Washington Mystics showed that this is a different year and a different team. They not only survived a flat out war with the New York Liberty, but were the aggressors for stretches in their 67-54 win last night in the Verizon Center. In past years, teams like the Liberty and Indiana Fever would get Washington off their game by... Read More

The last three games have been very interesting for the Washington Mystics. Two games ago they suffered their second loss of the season to the Lynx on the road in Minnesota. Instead of allowing that to spiral them into a losing streak, Washington responded with a blowout win on the road in Chicago before coming home. It could have been... Read More

The Dallas Wings got their fifth win of the season Sunday afternoon in Washington, D.C. The Mystics suffered their first loss of the season at the Verizon Center, Washington wasn’t as sharp as they needed to be and the Wings made them pay for it. Glory Johnson had a season high 27 points against the Mystics, 16 of which came... Read More

After Friday night’s debacle against the undefeated Minnesota Lynx (98-73), the Mystics came to the Verizon Center on attack mode from start to finish. Krystal Thomas scored the first basket and dominated early. Her early dominance was prophetic because she secured her first double-double of the season with 14 points and 14 rebounds. With her early start, the Mystics sprinted... Read More
