The Eagles ran their winning streak to nine straight with victories of 51-40 over Manchester on January 20th and 44-26 over Farmington on January 23rd. Heather Lyhne led Wethersfield with 12 points in the victory over Manchester while Erin Verre scored 16 points in the win over Farmington.
Wethersfield, 13-1 heading into this week, is ranked No. 7 in both the New Haven Register Top 10 Girls’ Basketball Poll and the Hartford Courant Girls’ Basketball Ratings.
This is the third season the Connecticut Sun has recognized a Team of the Week. Each winner will receive a commemorative plaque and a congratulatory letter from Connecticut Sun coach Mike Thibault.
The Team of the Week is part of a series of initiatives undertaken by the Connecticut Sun to highlight local high school girls’ basketball, where future WNBA stars are already competing. The Sun also host a CIAC Championship luncheon, and recognize the four CIAC Class champions during a ceremony at halftime of a regular season game.
The Sun have been one of the most successful teams in the WNBA, winning more games than any team in the league since 2003 and have qualified for the playoffs every year.
