SAN ANTONIO(AP) - Sophia Young had 20 points and 12 rebounds, including a three-point play with 5.5 seconds left to give the San Antonio Silver Stars a 68-67 victory over the Sacramento Monarchs on Thursday night.

Trailing by two points, Young drove the lane and was fouled by Adrian Williams-Strong. The basket was good to tie score, and Young then hit the go-ahead free throw.

Becky Hammon add 16 points and Ann Wauters had 12 to help the Silver Stars (11-6) improve to 9-1 at home this season.

Rebekkah Brunson scored 18 points to lead Sacramento (8-9), and Ticha Penicheiro had eight assists.

A tight game throughout, the Silver Stars pulled to 67-65 on Hammon's 3-pointer with 33 seconds left.

The Monarchs, who had lead the whole second half, could not get Penicheiro's jump shot to fall with 7 seconds left, setting up the Silver Stars' final play.

Sacramento had an off shooting night, hitting only 36 percent (28-for-77) from the field. However, the Monarchs hustled on the boards, getting 13 second-chance points. San Antonio had none.

Both teams struggled to keep the lead in the first half, exchanging it nine times, eight in the first quarter alone. However, the Monarchs were able to gain momentum going into halftime when Penicheiro's running bank shot with 05 seconds left in the half gave them a two point lead.

Kara Lawson sat out the game with a sore left shoulder, aggravated against Minnesota on June 26. Adrian Williams-Strong started in Lawson's place.
