The WNBA's lone undefeated team is no more.
The Connecticut Sun took their first defeat of the 2024 season, losing to the New York Liberty, 82–75, on Saturday.
Connecticut was the seventh team in league history to run out to a 9–0 start. The previous six teams to win their first nine games eventually advanced to the WNBA Finals, which bodes well for head coach Stephanie White's squad. The 2016 Minnesota Lynx had the WNBA's best start, beginning their season 13–0.
The Liberty won their sixth consecutive game and improved their record to 10–2, tying the franchise's best start after 12 games.
