Sonia Citron led the Washington Mystics to an 88-84 victory over the Indiana Fever on Friday evening. Citron had 21 points, three rebounds and two assists in the victory. The rookie went 6-of-13 from the field, including 3-for-5 from 3-point range. She also made all six of her free throw attempts.

The Indiana Fever suffered their second straight loss on Friday as they fell to the Washington Mystics in a tight one, 88-84. This defeat follows Tuesday’s 81-80 loss against the Dallas Wings, as Indiana has now lost two in a row at home in the span of four days.

Both teams trade buckets at the end of shot clock. Makayla Timpson seemingly beat the buzzer for Indiana and then Sonia Citron hit a shot fading away with Lexie Hull right in her face as the shot clock expires. Mystics were up 71-68.

Sophie Cunningham had a brilliant highlight that happened in the third quarter of Friday's matchup between the Fever and Mystics.

While the Washington Mystics look to build off their most recent victory over the Indiana Fever, all eyes are on Fever coach Stephanie White to help Indiana get back in the win column. She’s missed Clark, who’s averaging 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game this season.

After a five-game win streak, the Fever have now lost four of five, including back-to-back home games against teams outside the playoff positions.
