The Dream had five players score in double digits. Cheyenne Parker led the team in scoring 21, rookie sensation Rhyne Howard collected 16, Aari McDonald and AD each added 13, while  Tiffany Hayes rounded off the scoring efforts with 10 points.

Just a gutsy win for us, especially being back home. I think a good momentum win having won on the road. It was a tough win for us to be able to get this dub here. said Head Coach Tanisha Wright. I think it was big for our momentum as we move on to Washington.”
