Winning their 6th game, 87-77, in a rough and tumble game against the Minnesota Lynx.It's true that the Lynx reside with the Comets at the bottom of league standings, but this game was important. And the Comets hustled and fought hard for four solid quarters.
It was Kids Day at Toyota Center, and the little ones got to see everyone (who was dressed to) play... and most of them scored:
Michelle Snow 24 (career high tie)
Tina Thompson 22
Tina Thompson 22
Tamecka Dixon 15 (take that, ye with little faith)
Ashley Shields 10 (how about that from a community college graduate?)
Hamchetou Maiga-Ba 7
Crystal Smith 5
Latasha Byears 4
In a way, it was disappointing that Minnesota rookie guard from Cy-Fair, Lindsey Harding, wasn't able to play before a "home" crowd. It was learned, just before the game, that Harding will miss the rest of the season with a torn ligament in her knee.
Seimone Augustus (awesome to watch when you're not playing against her!) led the Lynx with 24. Essentially, if she shot the ball, she scored.

"You can't stop her from scoring," Maiga-Ba said. "But we were able to contain her a little and have a hand in her face for every shot."I really like this Comets team. The bench is deep and mostly young, and our confidence continues to build!
