Storm Weekly Forecast

Seattle Storm News Release
This Week's Opponent
San Antonio: Seattle will take on San Antonio for the second time in as many games this week, a scheduling quirk that gave the Storm seven days off between meetings while the Silver Stars face Houston and Phoenix this week before the rematch. In the first meeting, an 82-71 San Antonio victory on May 25, the Storm shot just 34.8 percent from the field and committed 19 turnovers leading to 29 points for the Silver Stars. With a week of practice under their belts, the Storm will look to reclaim control of the all-time series. Seattle has won seven of the last 11 meetings to narrow San Antonio's edge to 13-11 overall.
Storm Players to Visit Pioneer Elementary
Storm players Janell Burse, Tye'sha Fluker, Katie Gearlds and Betty Lennox will host a Be Fit Clinic at 3:15 p.m. this Wednesday, May 30 at Pioneer Elementary School (2301 M Street S.E., Auburn). The event is part of the WNBA's Be Smart - Be Fit - Be Yourself program, which is designed to encourage teens and women of all ages to learn more about their bodies and the importance of physical fitness.
Storm on the All-Star Ballot
Storm players Sue Bird, Janell Burse, Lauren Jackson and Betty Lennox are among the Western Conference players on the ballot for the 2007 WNBA All-Star Game to be played on July 15 at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. Jackson leads the group with five All-Star appearances, followed by Bird (four) and Lennox (one), while Burse is seeking her first trip to the midseason classic.

Each team will collect food and cash donations at their respective June 2 games, and the team with the most donations wins.
