ARLINGTON, TX- Coach Vickie Johnson and The Wings are back in Arlington to face off against The Seattle Storm tonight, June 10th at 7:00 P.M CT on Bally Sports Southwest.
The Wings are returning from a three-game road series that resulted in one win against Seattle on June 3rd 68-51. Forward Allisha Gray led her team that night in points totaling 18, following Satou Saballys 11
