    Meesseman ties career high as Mystics take Game 2

    The Washington Mystics looked a little more like themselves in Game 2 of the Semifinals. They competed on the defensive end and displayed that beautiful ball movement that was seen all year long. They used a big third quarter to create a bit of separation before Kristi Toliver closed the door late with a couple of big shots. The Mystics head to Las Vegas with a 2-0 series lead after the 103-91 win on Thursday night at the Entertainment and Sports Arena in Washington, D.C. Des

    Mystics cap historic regular season with a win

    Having locked up the number one overall seed prior to the regular season finale, the Washington Mystics decided to close things out with a win. Extending a new franchise record for wins with 26. They beat the Chicago Sky Sunday 100-86 by relying on what's gotten them to this point, suffocating defense and outstanding ball movement on the offensive end. Elena Delle Donne put the finishing touches on her MVP candidacy with a 25 point, 12 rebound and three block performance. Th

    Dominant on both ends, Mystics blow out Sparks

    It was set to be a big time matchup last night in Washington D.C. as the Washington Mystics hosted the red hot Los Angeles Sparks. The visitors were riding a thee game win streak and were 7-2 in their last nine games. Washington had just rebounded from a road loss in Chicago by beating the New York Liberty this past Sunday. That is why most expected this to be a great game between two teams fighting for playoff seeding, not to mention their season series was tied at one a pie

    Delle Donne leads balanced effort as Mystics rout Liberty

    Washington's Most Valuable Player candidate had one of those moments that MVPs have. Her team was growing stagnant offensively as the Liberty started the third quarter playing very good defense. Forcing a couple of shot clock violations and getting on the score board. They cut the deficit to 14, but it felt different as the building grew a bit restless. It appeared as if the Liberty with their physicality, were starting to seize control of the tempo. Elena Delle Donne scored

    Mystics set WNBA record for threes in win over Fever

    The Washington Mystics were coming off a road win in Minnesota, their fifth win in a row and the win that clinched them a spot in the post season. The Mystics were the first team in the league to clinch, Natasha Cloud also became the franchise leader in assists with a pass to Elena Delle Donne in the first half of that game. Riding a five game win streak, the Mystics hosted the Indiana Fever this afternoon at the Entertainment and Sports Arena. It didn't take long for them to

    Defense fuels 29-8 run as Washington beats Seattle

    Defense and Depth. They're the two things that make this iteration of the Mystics dangerous. It's nearly public knowledge at this point that the Washington Mystics seldom have issues putting the ball in the basket, but they become something else entirely when they're locked in on the defensive end. The job they did defensively, primarily in the second half is a huge reason why they were able to complete the sweep of this three game home stand capped off by last night's 88-59

    Washington's depth key in win over Lynx

    The Washington Mystics displayed their depth once again, this time they did so against the Minnesota Lynx. Washington did not have the services of Kristi Toliver or Tianna Hawkins, midway through this game, they lost Ariel Atkins. The trio of Elena Delle Donne, Aerial Powers (pictured above), and Emma Meesseman scored a combined 68 points in the 101-78 win over Minnesota. It was the third time this season that Washington has eclipsed the 100 point mark. Odyssey Sims led Minne

Elena Delle Donne (above) scored a season high 33 points, Kristi Toliver had 25 points and the Mystics relied on their defense late to close things out. The Mercury nearly rallied from a 23 point deficit, got as close to just two points down before the Mystics created some breathing room.

    The Washington Mystics completed their season series sweep of the Atlanta Dream with a 93-65 win today at the Entertainment and Sports Arena. Elena Delle Donne led the way with a 28 point point performance on 10-of-13 shooting from the floor. That along with a strong defensive effort was enough to get Washington back-to-back wins following their overtime win in Indiana. Aerial Powers had 17 points, starting in place for the injured Ariel Atkins. She knocked down four of seven
