The Mystics Are All in on WNBA Rookies Kiki Iriafen & Sonia Citron
Things got a little heated in the fourth quarter of last week's Washington Mystics win over Chicago. The DC-based WNBA team held a slim 62-60 lead over the Sky, when a contested rebound turned into a jump ball that Chicago head coach Tyler Marsh strongly disagreed with — costing him a technical foul from the sideline. Washington veteran Brittney Sykes could have taken the subsequent free throw, adding to a 32-point performance on a night when it felt like the 31-year-old couldn't miss. Fourth-year center Shakira Austin was also on the floor, as was third-year guard Sug Sutton. Instead, the player stepping up to the stripe turned out to be rookie guard Sonia Citron. She calmly sank the shot for her 11th point of the game, giving Washington a little more daylight as they held on for their fifth win of the season. Story by Claire Watkins

Ingrid Engen joins Lyon after winning 13 trophies with Barcelona
LYON, France (AP) — Norway defender Ingrid Engen has joined the Lyon women’s team from Barcelona on a two-year deal, the French club said Friday. The 27-year-old Engen played 152 matches across competitions with Barcelona, winning 13 trophies during a four-season spell with the Catalan club. Those titles included the Women’s Champions League twice — 2023 and ’24 — as well as four Spanish leagues. Lyon said Engen’s technical skills make her a versatile player capable of playing in the heart of the defense and in midfield. Engen has been selected to play at the European Championship in Switzerland next month alongside her new Lyon teammate and fellow Norwegian, Ada Hegerberg. Story by AP News
