The Fever are 7-1, with their only loss last Tuesday in New York. Last night they exacted revenge, beating the Lib by 19. TSB, happy in her new home, led with 22 and 13.

With the excitement of their hot start building, the Fever are trying not to get ahead of themselves. "I don't even know who we're going to play until the day before," says Tamika Whitmore.

But Catchings admits: "We're on our way to being a really good team."
