Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, June 04, 2007

The Sky won their second game in a row for the first time in franchise history against the struggling Lynx 78-72.

A 13-0 lead to start the game proved to be too much for the Lynx to overcome as they finished the half with only seven field goals. Augustus, Harding and Ohlde reached double figures but the team once again had a hard time connecting on shots.

The Sky benefitted from a strong start from Armintie Price, a great finish from Dominique Canty and solid all-around games from Candice Dupree and Claire Coggins. ''You've got to finish a game like that,'' Sky coach Bo Overton said. ''We have about 30 more games to go, and I know how hard those games are going to be.''

"Coming out of college (as the team's first draft pick), I didn't expect to win a lot of games as a new franchise," said Dupree. "But this year, I don't think 20 [victories] are out of the question. We definitely want to do it and we're off to a good start."
