Game Recap
The Dallas Wings defeated the Connecticut Sun 97-71 on August 31, 2026.
Dallas got a balanced offensive effort in the win. Arike Ogunbowale led the way with 18 points, four rebounds and three assists, while Jessica Shepard added 17 points, 10 rebounds and four assists to round out a strong night for the Wings.
Connecticut's offense was carried largely by Aaliyah Edwards, who finished with a team-high 26 points and six rebounds, though it wasn't enough to keep pace with Dallas. Charlisse Leger-Walker also contributed for the Sun, scoring 17 points and dishing out five assists.
This was a regular season matchup between the two teams, with Dallas cruising to a comfortable 26-point victory. The Wings' balanced scoring, highlighted by Shepard's double-double, proved too much for a Connecticut squad that got solid individual performances but couldn't find enough support beyond its top two scorers. Dallas controlled the game throughout, closing it out with a final margin that reflected their dominance on both ends of the floor. Edwards' 26-point outing stood out as the best individual scoring performance of the game, but the Sun's inability to generate more depth in production ultimately left them well short in the final tally.
