It was a huge night for Bridget Carleton in her first WNBA start as the Chatham-Kent native threw down 25 points and grabbed 7 boards in Minnesotas 92-66 win over the New York Liberty.
She played 33 minutes, and went 10-21 from the floor including 3-3 from 3 point range.
Carleton didn’t know she was starting until just before the tip when a team mate couldn’t start because of a calf issue.
So Carleton filled the spot, and filled the bucket.
She hit on 4 of her first 5 shots and that helped out with her confidence.
The Lynx are off to a 4-1 start.
