So, the game will be at 1 AM ET if you're a night owl, lol.

If I'm awake, I will be watching!

The Tokomanawa Queens took a loss in HVL and CLW first appearance in the New Zealand Tauihi League, going down to the Mainland Pouākai 114 - 77.

HVL led the Queens with 20 pts, 1 ast, 6 reb, 2 stl, 3 TO in 30 mins of action.

CLW had 19 pts, 7 ast, 4 reb, 3 stl, 1 TO in 23 mins of action, not playing the last few minutes of the 3rd quarter and the whole 4th quarter due to calf cramp.

For the Pouākai, they were simply too dominant inside, with Mikayla Vaughn (formerly Notre Dame University) taking full advantage of the weaker bigs of the Queens leading all scorers with 32 pts, 12 Rebs and 3 ast, and McKenna Dale (Brown University) with 28 pts (5/10 3pt), 19 rebs, 5 ast.

I had to do a custom name, but the WNBA site had the blue rebel jersey available and this is what I wanted for years. I am glad I got it now but sadly cannot wear it on game days. I will always root for AT though and happy she was a Sun player for so long. AT is tied with Cynthia Cooper as my all time favorite WNBA player and my favorite Sun player.

I found these six. Were there more?

• Saniya Rivers
• Olivia Nelson-Ododa
• Charlisse Leger-Walker
• Brittney Griner
• Aaliyah Edwards
• Leila Lacan
