The loss drops Washington to 16-23 while the Liberty improve to 24-15.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Mystics did finish the first quarter ahead with a 20-18. However, the tables were flipped on them for the rest of the game, with the Liberty dominating in three point shooting and rebounds. While Washington wasn\u2019t too careless with the ball with 12 total turnovers, when they tun into 24 points for New York, then that\u2019s just going to be hard to come back from.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Emma Meesseman led the Liberty with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. She also had no turnovers. Sure, Isabelle Harrison scored one more point than Meesseman, but Emma had a bigger impact than nearly the rest of the Liberty in this game. Breanna Stewart had 12 points and 9 rebounds. Marnie Johannes added 14 points.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">For Washington, in a rebuilding season, it\u2019s a good thing to see that Sonia Citron led with 18 points with Kiki Iriafen added 16 more. Both also shot at least 50 percent from the field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Washington\u2019s next game is on Saturday when they travel to San Francisco to face the Golden State Valkyries. Tip off is at 8:30 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Mystics lost to the New York Liberty on Thursday night, 89-63.
