Summary
The Washington Mystics, the youngest team in WNBA history, stunned the New York Liberty with an 86-83 victory, snapping New York’s eight-game win streak and ending their own 10-game skid against the Liberty. Second-year stars Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen led the charge, with Iriafen returning from injury to score nine points in the final four minutes, including the game-winning basket. Coach Sydney Johnson hailed the win as a sign of growth, while Iriafen credited the team’s resilience and belief. The victory brought Washington back to a .500 record for the first time since their 2019 championship, and Citron believes the team is poised to be a contender — if they can maintain this level of play consistently.
