The Comets and Mercury had another entertaining game. This time, the Comets held on to beat the Merc 94-92.

Sancho Lyttle did not start, but came up with a big steal to give her team the possession that gave them the lead for good. Tina Thompson led the Comets with 19, but perhaps more important were the 12 points Matee Ajavon scored off the bench. “Coach (Karleen Thompson) said that I needed to be a spark player tonight so when I came in the game, I wanted to be a defensive force out there. The offense came with that,” Ajavon said.

Diana had 31 for the Mercury, but was only 1-9 and the team was under 27% from beyond the arc.
