NEW YORK — – Emma Meesseman scored 19 points and Breanna Stewart added 14 to help the New York Liberty beat the Washington Mystics 75-66 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

For the first time since early in the season, New York had its entire roster available. Sabrina Ionescu returned after missing a few games with a toe injury. Nyara Sabally played in her first game since July 16 as she recovered from a knee issue.<\/p>\n

The Liberty (26-17), who have locked up the No. 5 seed in the playoffs, are confident they can repeat as champions now that they are healthy.<\/p>\n

They finish off the regular season in Chicago on Thursday before most likely heading to Phoenix to open the playoffs on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Jonquel Jones added 12 points and 11 rebounds as New York improved to 34-0 when she gets a double-double in the regular season over her time with the Liberty.<\/p>\n

New York jumped out early behind Stewart and Meesseman to take a 19-12 lead after one quarter and extended it to 41-26 at the half.<\/p>\n

Washington (16-28) got within seven in the third quarter, but could get no closer. This was the final game of the season for the Mystics, who lost their last 10. There were a lot of positives for the franchise this year, especially rookies Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen.<\/p>\n

Georgia Amoore, who the team drafted sixth, missed the entire season with a torn ACL. That trio are great pieces to build around for the future.<\/p>\n

Iriafen scored 16 points and Citron added 13 against New York.<\/p>\n
