Mystics carving their own journey within WNBA and Washington DC

A season where a coachable and hungry Mystics team carves out a campaign for Washington DC to remember is the aim. It’s certainly not beyond the realms of possibility.

It’s September in Washington DC and it’s the Mystics’ night to fly the sporting flag in the capital.

The Mystics – the city’s WNBA outfit – are hosting the Phoenix Mercury and a couple of well-looked-after journalists from Ireland and the UK are lucky enough to be in attendance at the 4,200-seater CareFirst Arena.
