The calling card for head coach Latricia Trammell is defense. While there have been flashes of the team locking in on defense, it has not traveled well on the road. So far, the Dallas Wings are in 1-6 in away games and have lost four of their last five games. And the defensive rating for the group away from home is 104.1, ninth among road teams this season, and far below their 99.8 rating at home.

But Trammell is undeterred by the losing. She takes a positive outlook, and player morale reflects this. The coach has been consistent on how she feels the team can improve. She has maintained the stance throughout this tough stretch is to watching film then execution.

“We just got to go onward and upward, right?”, Trammell told media following Sunday’s 93-83 loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. “We’ve just got to continue to enhance the areas that we need to. We’ll go back and watch this because we always like to say film don’t lie, right?”

Jun. 26—MOHEGAN — Natisha Hiedeman is from Green Bay, Wisconsin, “little old Green Bay,” she called it earlier this week.

“I feel the same way about Connecticut,” Hiedeman said. “I just think this has always been my home coming right out of college. This was my first training camp. This is where I started out. This is where the vets showed me the way.

“The fans, the community, just the support staff, all the way from top to bottom, I would just say that this just feels like home. I’m a very homebody type of person.”

That led Hiedeman, who spent her first season in 2022 as the Connecticut Sun’s starting point guard — a journey which led the Sun all the way to the WNBA Finals — to re-sign with Connecticut as a restricted free agent. Hiedeman signed a two-year deal in February.

Her most recent contributions have been multi-faceted for the Sun (12-3), who face the New York Liberty (9-3) at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Mohegan Sun Arena. The Liberty beat the Sun earlier this season in New York, 81-65.

Hiedeman is averaging 8.3 points and 3.5 assists, finishing with 14 points and five assists in Connecticut’s 96-72 home victory Sunday over the Chicago Sky.

Hiedeman, who has at least one 3-pointer in each of the Sun’s last four games, is eighth in franchise history with 176 and 14th in assists at 310.

There is also a matter of her defense, with Hiedeman locking down Dallas leading scorer Arike Ogunbowale in a matchup on June 4, holding Ogunbowale to a season-low eight points. Hiedeman, who didn’t score in the game, “exhausted herself defensively,” according to first-year head coach Stephanie White.

Listed at 5-foot-8, 135 pounds, Hiedeman is a 2019 graduate of Marquette who was drafted in the second round by Minnesota and sent to the Sun…

New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart, who scored a game-high 24 points, elevates for a basket over the Connecticut Sun’s DeWanna Bonner during Tuesday night’s 89-81 win at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.Sarah Gordon/Associated Press

UNCASVILLE, Conn. ― Breanna Stewart, returning to where she made her name as one of the most decorated women’s players at the University of Connecticut, scored a game-high 24 points on 11-for-17 shooting and grabbed 9 rebounds to lead the New York Liberty to an 89-81 WNBA victory over the host Connecticut Sun on Tuesday night at Mohegan Sun Arena.

Courtney Vandersloot added 17 points for the Liberty (10-3) while former Sun player Jonquel Jones added 14 points and 11 rebounds against her former team.

DiJonai Carrington came off the bench to lead the Sun (12-4) with a career-high 23 points on 8-for-11 shooting, hitting all three of her 3-point attempts. Alyssa Thomas (11 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) recorded her fifth career double-double ― and third in seven days ― and capped a 13-0 run that rallied the Sun to an 81-80 lead when she converted a foul-inducing layup with 4:18 left.

The Sun, however, were unable to hold onto that slim margin after going scoreless in the final 3:55 of the game.

The victory moved the Liberty into a tie with Connecticut atop the Commissioner Cup standings in the Eastern Conference. Each team has one game left although New York has the tiebreaker having swept the two games against the Sun. Las Vegas has already wrapped up the Western Conference slot.
