WNBA ROUNDUP Wednesday's game
Sting 67, Silver Stars 52
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Allison Feaster scored 21 points to lead Charlotte over San Antonio. Tammy Sutton-Brown and Kelly Miller each added 10 points for Charlotte, which won its third consecutive game. Marie Ferdinand scored 15 for slumping San Antonio, which lost its fourth straight game. The Silver Stars, who relocated from Utah during the offseason, shot a franchise-low 30 percent and fell to 1-4. Charlotte struggled with its shooting in the first half, hitting just 23 percent and taking a 25-21 lead into the break. San Antonio got quick baskets in the second half from Ferdinand and Sylvia Crawley to tie the game at 29 with 15:59 left. Then the Sting buckled down on defense, an emphasis under first-year coach Trudi Lacey, and reeled off an 18-6 run that put Charlotte back in control. Feaster, who hit five 3-pointers, made three during the run to help the Sting to a 47-36 lead with 9:00 to play. San Antonio got back into it, though, behind a layup and a pair of free throws from Ferdinand that cut the score to 49-46. Charlotte turned up the pressure, forcing the Silver Stars into bad passes and a flurry of fouls in a 7-0 Sting run. The Sting pushed the lead back to double digits on Sutton-Brown's driving layup on a pass from Dawn Staley that made it 56-46.
