The Mystics head to their second regular season game in Connecticut.
The Washington Mystics (1-0) are playing the Connecticut Sun (0-0) on Sunday. This should be a good feeler for how the Mystics plays against more projected playoff teams to start the season. Here is the preview.

Pregame notes
The Mystics will face the Sun for the first time in the regular season on a Sunday matinee. For the Sun this is the season opener while the Mystics opened on Friday at home with a dramatic clutch win over the Atlanta Dream. Though it was early to say, sometimes, it felt like a playoff game yesterday. So it’s conceivable that even tomorrow could be a game that could have playoff seeding ramifications later down the road though of course it’s way too early to predict!
Sonia Citron had a surprisingly strong season opener with 19 points, while Brittney Sykes continued her strong play from last season with 22 points as well as two clutch plays to secure the win in the last 30 seconds. Will these two be the teams’ leaders this year? Time will tell!
Sydney Johnson’s tenure started well with a nice win, let’s see how it continues.
