The Connecticut Sun have advanced to the semifinals of the WNBA Playoffs after sweeping Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever in the opening round of the postseason.

On Wednesday night, the Sun earned a 87-81 win over the Fever in a hardfought game.

It ends a magical season for WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark, but Connecticut moves on thanks to a strong second-half effort from midseason trade acquisition Marina Mabrey, a double-double from Alyssa Thomas, clutch buckets from veteran DeWanna Bonner, and a strong all-around outing from the WNBA's Most Improved Player DiJonai Carrington.

Dinner should be interesting.

The two WNBA stars have been dating since Carrington transferred to the Baylor Bears from Stanford for her senior year during the 2020-21 season.
