Sonia Citron’s Career-High 30 Powers Mystics Win Over the Fever, Spoiling Caitlin Clark’s 32-Point Overtime Surge (104 – 102)

May 16, 2026

In a thrilling, high-scoring overtime showdown, the Washington Mystics edged out the Indiana Fever 104–102 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, lit up by an spectacular guard battle between Caitlin Clark and Sonia Citron.

Clark once again proved her status as a late-game mastermind, fueling a fierce Indiana comeback after the Fever fell behind by 14 points in the second half. The phenom guard exploded for 17 points in the fourth quarter alone, capping her performance with a clutch, contested 3-pointer with just 1.7 seconds remaining in regulation to tie the game at 89 and force overtime. She finished with a game-high 32 points, eight assists, and seven 3-pointers, carrying the offensive load despite struggling with efficiency on 10-of-28 shooting.

However, Citron countered with a masterclass in scoring efficiency to seal the road victory for Washington. The stellar guard racked up a career-high 30 points on an incredibly efficient 10-of-14 shooting from the floor while adding six rebounds and four assists. Citron’s steady hand proved decisive in the extra period, where she orchestrated the offense with five critical points and two assists to hold off the Fever and cement an early-season statement win.

Fever routs Mystics to clinch playoff spot (94 – 65)

September 8, 2025

The Indiana Fever has secured their playoff spot after defeating the Washington Mystics (94 – 65). Fever clinched the playoff despite missing five players to season-ending injuries, including their Superstar Caitlin Clark to groin injury.

It was a competitive first half, with the Fever leading by just seven points. But in the 3rd quarter, the Fever limited the Mystics to just 9 points while scoring 17 points, and then in the final frame, the Fever ran away with the game, leading by as much as 33 points before closing the game 94 – 65.

Natasha Howard led the Fever with 17 points, with another solid game from Aliyah Boston with 12 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists, and Kelsey Mitchell added 10 points. Shey Peddy and Aerial Powers, Indiana’s recent additions via “hardship signing,” made solid contributions, scoring 13 points and 15 points, respectively.

Rookie sensation Sonia Citron led the Washington Mystics with 17 points, with Shakira Austin and fellow rookie Kiki Iriafen scoring 11 points apiece. No other Washington player scored more than 7 points. Citron set a new Washington Mystics scoring record for total points in a season at 644 points, passing Brittney Sykes’ previous mark of 636 in 2023.

With just one more game, the Fever are already assured of a 7th seed in the playoffs, and they have a chance to move up to the 6th seed if the Golden State Warriors lose their game against the Seattle Storm. Both teams are fighting for their playoff spot.

The Indiana Fever will face the Minnesota Lynx for their last game of the season while the Mystics will face the New York Liberty.
