What looked like it was going to be a blowout became an exciting back-and-forth game in New York: Phoenix led for most of the game, but Jessica Davenport won it for the Lib on an old-fashioned three-point play at the end.

As in previous matches, the Mercury started out brilliant, then got tired; the Lib seemed to figure things out as the game went along. And Loree Moore ate everyone's lunch: a career-high 22, 4-6 from downtown, three steals, nine boards.

Cappie came alive in the final minutes for her contingent of Rutgers fans, but couldn't make the last shot. "It's time to move on," she says.

New York remain undefeated. ""I know people outside this organization don't expect a lot of us, but we have a lot of confidence in each other," said Erin Thorn. Next up (gulp): Indiana.
