Last night, they righted that wrong by winning the first title in franchise history. Winning a winner-take-all Game 5 against the Connecticut Sun 89-78. Successfully completing their goal, from running it back to first time champs. Emma Meesseman was named the Finals Most Valuable Player, scoring 22 points in the win.

The Sun held on to win Game 4 90-86, they had remarkable balance in their starting five as everyone scored at least 15 points. Jonquel Jones had another doubl

Defense, Rebounding and Physicality propel Washington to Game 3 Win

Roughly 30-35 minutes before the game, the Washington Mystics shared that both Elena Delle Donne and Ariel Atkins were available to play in Game three after being ruled questionable with back injuries. They both started in Washington's 94-81 win over the Connecticut Sun. Each gave what they could and it was appreciated by their teammates who planned to play this pivotal Game 3 without them. Delle Donne had 13 points and six rebounds, but it was Emma Meesseman that led Washing

She had a monstrous double-double, 32 points and 18 rebounds to lead the Connecticut Sun past the Washington Mystics 99-87 for a Game 2 victory. The series is now tied at one a piece as the WNBA Finals moves to Connecticut for Games 3&4. Alyssa Thomas lived up to her "Baby Bron" nickname earned during her tenure at the Univ

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

Washington holds on to take Game 1

The Las Vegas Aces couldn't of asked for a better start to the Semifinals, up seven at the half on the road against the top seeded team in the league. They were shooting 60% from the floor and 80% from beyond the arc at that point. Washington got some big shots to go down by Toliver and Delle Donne throughout the second half, but the visitors defense gave them a chance by locking up home team for the last four minutes of the game. After a Delle Donne miss, the crowd felt ther

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

The Washington Mystics lost their third consecutive game last night, falling to the Las Vegas Aces. As always when these teams meet, there's some type of issue surrounding the game. This time it was faulty shot clocks. The Aces rallied from a very poor start to get a big win on the road, they keep their hold on first place with the 85-81 win over the Mystics.

WITH MEESSEMAN MISSING THE SEASON, MYSTICS BRING CURRIE HOME

As free agency opened today in the WNBA, the Washington Mystics made a move to bring back veteran wing Monique Currie. It’s no surprise that Washington was active as they shared that Emma Meeseman will be sitting out the 2018 WNBA season about 24 hours ago. Obviously that’s going to be a tough hole to fill for the Mystics, but this news didn’t come out of the blue, they were prepared for it. “Emma has played year-round for almost six consecutive years, without time to rest he

This win came less than two weeks after the Dallas Wings came into the Capitol One Arena and upset the Washington Mystics in a physical game. In that specific game Dallas guard Skylar Diggins-Smith had her way with the Mystics but that was not the case in this game with the second round of the playoffs on the line. Elena

It’s the fourth quarter and Skylar Diggins-Smith is at the top of the key dribbling the ball waiting for the shot clock to go down as Ivory Latta defends her. As the shot clock begins to trickle down she takes about two dribbles to the right and then splits two Mystic defenders. As she splits the two defenders with a hard dribble to the left she sees an open Theresa Plaisance on the three point line who she hits for a gut wrenching triple with 17.2 seconds left.
