LYNX DAILY - WEDNESDAY, JULY 26

LAST NIGHT'S GAME Minnesota 70, Charlotte 62 The Carolyn Jenkins era began with the bang Tuesday night as the Minnesota Lynx held its opponent to a season low 27.5 percent from the field en route to a 70-62 win over the Charlotte Sting at Charlotte Bobcats Arena. The win is the team's first in Charlotte since Aug. 8, 2000.

Seimone Augustus led four Lynx players in double-figures with 21 points followed by Amber Jacobs with 18 and Nicole Ohlde and Adrian Williams with 10 points apiece. Williams also contributed a team-high eight rebounds to lead Minnesota. Charlotte's Tammy Sutton-Brown led all scorers with 22.

NEXT UP Charlotte at Minnesota - Thursday, July 27, at Target Center (7:00 p.m.) Charlotte center and former Gopher Janel McCarville will make her debut at Target Center in the second game in three days between the Lynx and the Sting. McCarville, who was injured when the two teams met during the 2005 season, is averaging 4.1 points and 3.0 rebounds in 21 contests this season. She has, however, experienced an increase in playing time and production in recent weeks.
