The Dallas Wings (5-8) survived the Washington Mystics in overtime (4-8) 101-92 Friday night.

The Wings featured a four-pronged scoring attack led by the Notre Dame duo of Arike Ogunbowale, with 24, and Marina Mabrey, who tied her career high with 17 points, and supported by two of the few Wings veterans, Kayla Thornton, who had a season high 17, and Isabelle Harrison, who dropped 19, her highest scoring performance as a member of the Wings. Mabrey has also had 10 or more points in the first half in back-to-back games.

Kayla Thornton also recorded back-to-back double-doubles as she grabbed 10 rebounds to go along with her scoring. It is the third career double-double and the fourth by a Wings player this season. Ogunbowale, with a career-high nine assists, handed out the most dimes by a Wings player in the Wubble this season.

The Wings next see the Los Angeles Sparks (9-3) on Sunday at 5 p.m. CT. The game will be streamed on Facebook and can also be viewed on FOX Sports GO.
