Kiki Iriafen scored a game- and career-high 23 points to power the Washington Mystics to a 91–78 victory over the Dallas Wings at the College Park Center in Texas.
The matchup featured three of the top contenders for the 2025 Rookie of the Year award — Paige Bueckers, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft by the Wings, along with the Mystics’ Sonia Citron (No. 3 pick) and Iriafen (No. 4 pick).
Iriafen stole the spotlight, recording the game’s only double-double with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Citron followed with 18 points, five rebounds, and six assists, while Stefanie Dolson added 14 points and Emily Engstler chipped in 11 to seal the Mystics’ win.
The performance eclipsed Iriafen’s previous career-high of 22 points, set in Washington’s 103–86 win over the Chicago Sky in July. She was named the game’s top performer against the Wings.
For Dallas, Bueckers led with 17 points, three rebounds, and three assists. Veteran Arike Ogunbowale contributed 12 points and two assists in 32 minutes, Haley Jones scored 11 points, and Luisa Geiselsöder added 10.
The victory marked the Mystics’ 14th win of the season, and they will look to carry this momentum into their next matchup against the Golden State Valkyries.
