Seattle (AP) -Gabby Williams scored 18 points, including a 3-Punter with 6:10 remaining, to put the Seattle storm for a 79-65 victory against the Sun of Connecticut on Friday night.
Williams’ shot gave the storm (13-8) a 63-62 lead and started a 19-3 race. The storm beat the sun 24-13 in the fourth quarter.
Nneka Ogwumike encrypted 16 points, while Skylar Diggins and Ezi Magbegor added 14 points for Seattle.
Tina Charles LED Connecticut (3-17) with 20 points. The Saniya rivers had 12 points, while Olivia Nelson-Ododa and Leila Lacan scored 10 each.
The strong end was necessary, considering that the storm started at a lens. Seattle surpassed 16-10 after the first quarter thanks to the cheeky shooting. The storm turned only 23.5% of its traits into the opening frame, while the connecticut striker, Charles scored eight of its 20 points in the fourth.
The storm was reduced to its deficit and even made a 29-28 lead to the 1:57 mark in the second quarter in a 14-foot jump from Erica Wheeler.
The teams exchanged leadership for much of the second and third quarter before Seattle retired to the fourth.
