It was quite the battle at College Park Center Saturday afternoon. The Dallas Wings fell to the Seattle Storm 109-103.<br /><br />Arike Ogunbowale led the Wings with a career-high of 41 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assist.<br /><br />Head Coach Latricia Trammell said before the game the team needed to focus in on defensive transition and its something the Wings struggled with in the first half.<br /><br />“You have to play the first quarter like it’s the fourth,” said Trammell. “We need to put four quarters together but I love the fight and effort I see out of them.”<br /><br />The Seattle Storm had a 10-point lead until one minute remaining in the second quarter. Crystal Dangerfield and Arike Ogunbowale worked together to knock down valuable threes that would close them in at 55-47 going into the half. <br /><br />The Wings turned up the heat in the second half. Arike pushed the Wings over the Seattle Storm at the end of the third quarter 75-74 with a good driving layup.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the effort was not enough to hold off this Seattle team. A foul called on Veronica Burton would allow Seattle’s Kia Nurse to two from the line making it the Storms game.<br /><br />UP NEXT: The Dallas Wings will remain at home to take on the Atlanta Dream at College Park Center Tuesday night. Tip-off is at 7 PM.
