Sydney Johnson said Shakira Austin was "getting a bathroom break" to start the third quarter, leading to her extended absence.
The Washington Mystics - who are starting two rookies - are 11-10 and T-6th in the WNBA standings. They are also just 1.5 games back of the No. 4 seed.
Kiki Iriafen records double-double No. 7 with her 10 points and 10 rebounds. It is the most by a rookie in Mystics history, breaking a tie with Chamique Holdsclaw.
The Mystics are 20-for-51 from the field today. Just three made baskets from beyond 8 feet.
Noted big guard Shakira Austin - Triple-double watch with 2p, 6r, 4a midway through the second quarter
For a three-game road trip, Lucy Olsen played big minutes for the Mystics. It serves as a reminder of the team's depth down the bench and charts a path for a larger role for Olsen in the future. monumentalsportsnetwork.com/article/rookie…
Brittney Sykes said the EagleBank Arena crowd was a little confused tonight (cheering for the Aces), but when they got the stops at the end, the crowd went electric.
Mystics win and are back to .500 at 10-10. They're 7th in the WNBA, ahead of the Indiana Fever and the Las Vegas Aces.
FINAL: Mystics 70, Aces 68 Mystics come back and snatch another win from Vegas. After trailing by 15, Washington's defense shut down the Aces in the final frame. Two BIG Sonia Citron stops to close the game. Brittney Sykes led with 18p (7/15 FG). Shakira Austin with 16p, 8r.
Wow Sonia Citron just shut down Chelsea Gray on the penultimate possession. Game-winning stop here (with great help from Shakira Austin).
