Sonia Citron cemented herself at the mountaintop of one of the Washington Mystics' records during their matchup against the Indiana Fever on Sunday afternoon.
In 32 minutes of action, Citron finished with a stat line of 17 points, two rebounds, one steal, and a block. She shot 6-of-9 from the field, including 2-of-2 from beyond the arc, and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line.
Going into the game, Citron had 627 points and counting throughout her rookie season. She needed 10 points to obtain the single season record of most points, which Brittney Sykes held after putting up 636 points in the 2023 season. That was something she easily shattered with his display against Indiana's defense, per Polymarket Hoops.
