Heels in the League 06/21/09 (WNBA)
06/21/09
Everytime I get a second to work on this (extremely behind) post about the ex ladies from Chapel Hill playing in the WNBA I remember the song “so far away”. Mostly because that is what this (not so) daily post is: so far away! But, I am not giving up on it and I am going to get it back into shape this week, and with the fact I have some time off from other things, I should truly be able to do it. But for now, enjoy this edition of “Heels in the League” (WNBA) from June 21, 2009. There are five games on the night, of those two have ex Lady Heels in them, with one of the game being a head to head match up between ex Carolina players. So, without any further interruptions, here is the recap for 06/21/09…
Seattle Storm
In the first game with a touch of carolina blue it’s the Seattle Storm going south to play the Phoenix Mercury at the US Airways Center in front of 6,181 fans. For the Storm it’s ex Lady Heel Camille Little, who started in the middle for her team, getting over 32.5 minutes in all. In that timeframe the center only scored 2 points (1 for 6 shooting), while adding six boards, four assists and a steal. Little did have a turnover on the night as well against the Mercury team. In the end, in a pretty close game, it was Seattle beating Phoenix by 9, with the final score being 93 to 84.
New York Liberty
The second game of the night, a head to head between ex players from Chapel Hill, is the one that has the New York Liberty going down I-95 to the “Gate City of the South” to take on the Atlanta Dream. The game was played in the Philips Arena (same venue used by the Hawks) in front of 5,624 fans. For the Liberty it’s Cathrine Kraayeveld, starting at a forward spot and getting over 30 minutes of playing time. The ex Heel scored 13 points (5 for 10 ~ 2 for 6 ~ 1 for 1) to go along with three assists, two boards and a steal. On the other side of the court it was Nikki Teasley, getting the nod at a guard spot and also playing over 30 minutes. Teasley scored 3 points (1 for 3 ~ 1 for 2), adding five assists, two boards and a pair of steals. When it was all said and done it would be New York winning the game by a dozen, taking down Atlanta by the final tally of 93 to 81.
