Heels in the League 06/19/09 (WNBA)
06/19/09
And after letting this daily post go during the Fourth of July weekend (and sliding even further behind on it) I am back to get this “Heels in the League” (WNBA) post on track once and for all. In the games for June 19, 2009, all the ex Lady Heels were in action, with a head to head meeting. Some starting for their pro team and some coming off the bench, but all contributing in some way. So, without any further interruptions, let’s get this edition of “Heels in the League” (WNBA) for 06/19/09 going…
In the first game with a touch of carolina blue, it’s the Washington Mystics going down south to Philips Arena, to play against Atlanta Dream in front of just over 6,000 fans. For the home squad it’s Nikki Teasley, starting at a guard spot and getting just below 19 minutes. In that timeframe the ex Lady Heel got 12 points, along with one rebound, four assists and a steal. In the end, it was Atlanta winning the game, as they defeated Washington by a dozen, 93 to 81.
The next game is the head to head game between ex UNC players as the Minnesota Lynx went to the northwest to meet up with the Seattle Storm. The game was played at Key Arena in front of 7,607 fans. For the visiting team it’s the tandem of LaToya Pringle and Rashanda McCants, both coming off the bench in this one. Pringle, who got just over 5 minutes in the game, scored just one point (0 for 1 from the field – 1 for 2 from the FT line), while getting nothing else but two personal fouls. McCants, who got over 21 minutes in the game, scored 8 points (3 for 6 ~ 2 for 2 from beyond the arc), adding five rebounds and an assist. For the home team it’s center Camille Little, who started for the Storm. In all the ex Heel got seven points for the team (3 for 5 from the field – 1 for 2 from the charity stripe) and plus two rebounds. In the game it was all Storm, as Seattle destroyed Minnesota by 28 points, with the final score being 90 to 62.
The final game with an ex from Chapel Hill is the game that was played at the mecca of basketball, Madison Square Garden, as visiting San Antonio Stars take on the New York Liberty in front of over 8,000 fans. For the home team we have Cathrine Kraayeveld getting the nod at one of the forward spots and playing just under 28 minutes in all. The ex Lady Heel scored seven points (2 for 7 ~ 1 for 3 ~ 2 for 2) to go along with three boards, two assists, one steal and a block shot. As far as the game, in the end it was a pretty easy game for the Liberty, as New York wins the game going away, taking care of San Antonio by the final tally of 77 to 61.
