Camp Day was a success!
The Washington Mystics have won two games in a row both at home. Washington took down the New York Liberty 78-69 behind Elena Delle Donne’s 25 points and an arena full of screaming children as it was Camp Day.
Not sure if it’s because of the campers, but @De11eDonne is taking kids to school!#Mystics25 // #TogetherDC pic.twitter.com/9ZxgrE63iE

As for New York, Natasha Howard’s double-double (17 points, 10 rebounds) wasn’t enough. Sabrina Ionescu had 15 points and eight rebounds in the loss. Marine Johannes led the way for the reserves with 12 points of her own.
