Dallas Wings Aim for First Win Against Seattle Storm Tonight

ARLINGTON, Texas — The Dallas Wings host the Seattle Storm Monday night at 7 p.m. at College Park Center, looking to recover from a tough season-opening loss to the Minnesota Lynx. The Wings, who lost 99-84 on Friday, will rely on rookie star Paige Bueckers and All-Star Arike Ogunbowale to secure their first win.

Bueckers, the No. 1 overall draft pick, scored 10 points in her WNBA debut. Her performance impressed many, but it was the Lynx’s Napheesa Collier who stole the show with 34 points. Ogunbowale led the Wings with 16 points, while newcomer DiJonai Carrington added 15 points after joining the team from the Connecticut Sun during the offseason.

Tonight’s game is particularly important for both teams, as each seeks to overcome their season-opening defeats. The Wings are looking to turn around a disappointing record against the Storm, having lost all four matchups last season. Additionally, the Storm will be without forward Katie Lou Samuelson, who is out for the season following ACL surgery.

This game marks the first of a new broadcast partnership, with KFAA (Ch. 29) transmitting all Wings games not airing nationally. The game will be accessible over cable and streaming services, allowing local fans to watch for free.

Following tonight’s game, the Wings will hit the road for upcoming matchups against the Minnesota Lynx, Atlanta Dream, and Connecticut Sun. The match against the Storm is not just a game; it’s a chance for the Wings to set a new tone early in the season.

The WNBA season is in its early stages, and both teams are eager to start strong. With talent on both rosters, including promising rookie Bueckers and veteran leader Diggins, fans can expect a thrilling contest.
