No. 8 Washington is starting to see results, taking on No. 1 Minnesota on a three-game winning streak that includes upset victories over No. 4 New York and tonight’s top-ranked opponent.
Second-year Mystics guard Sonia Citron continues to impress, fueling Sunday’s 84-79 win over the Lynx with 21 points. It was enough to offset 22 points from Minnesota rookie Olivia Miles.
“I think it takes time to get to where you want to go,” said Washington forward Kiki Iriafen. “And that’s something that our coaches have stressed to us.”

“I want it to be hard, and I want us to fail,” said Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve, reflecting on lessons learned. “Because when you have good times, maybe you don’t really know who you actually are.”
“You take those moments and you appreciate them, but definitely it’s frustrating to not get the result you want,” said Miles.
