This was a great win for us. We finally played a near-complete game with much better rebounding than we've had lately. We still failed to put bodies on some people and allowed NY to get too many O-boards but we are getting better. I think we now are definitely contenders for the WNBA Championship, but we have to remember that NY still doesn't have Jonquel Jones and they are a very different team with her in the lineup. She'll be back for our last game against NY in Seattle. Dom was quite amazing in this game with 11 points and 8 boards in only 10 minutes of action. Those are incredible numbers. We are going to need her to play more minutes now - like 20 minutes per game. It just makes sense. We will improve more as a team the more minutes that Dominique plays. She has to get more game experience. She should definitely get 20+ minutes against Connecticut.
I'm so happy that both Skylar and Gabby were named to the All-Star team as reserves along with Nneka being a starter. When the Captains pick their teams, it's likely that they won't all end up on the same team, but it should be a really fun game for them. Gabby being selected shows that she's getting more recognition for her defensive prowess now as well as her excellent offense.

Great breakdown, hopefully their momentum continues past the All-Star break.
iMO, this was the best coaching I’ve seen from Noey.
Good solid rebounding and hustling for the ball without sacrificing our defense. Loved to watch.
When I was unable to watch the game this morning, your article was the first thing I turned to. Thank you, Jeff! Excellent write up. GO STORM!
