Also on Tuesday, the Lynx ate the Liberty's lunch. The home team doubled up the visitors early, then had little trouble the rest of the way; Ohlde scored a season-high 14.

Controversy preceded the game, and might have affected its outcome. Some fans had hoped the onetime Gopher great would come home via dispersal draft last year. Did Janel feel the same way? She did, but not anymore: "Once they passed on me, that was basically it. The heck with that. You obviously didn't want me."

Seimone had her irony afterburners on: "The motivation for [our] post players was the comment Janel made. They kind of fed off of that. So thank you, Janel, for that great comment."
