Laces Beat Breanna Stewart, Mist to Clinch Spot in 2025 Unrivaled Playoff Bracket

The Laces are headed to the Unrivaled playoffs.

Jackie Young's 27 points paved the way to a 76-69 victory over the Mist Saturday to clinch a playoff berth and improve the team's record to 7-7.

Young was the star of the day and added five rebounds and four assists to her 27 points. She was 10-of-17 from the floor and 5-of-8 from three while also sinking the game-winning shot.

Kayla McBride had 17 points, three rebounds and an assist while Tiffany Hayes had 16 points, seven rebounds and three assists, and Stefanie Dolson had 12 points, six rebounds and an assist. Alyssa Thomas was limited to four points but grabbed a team-high 12 rebounds.

Breanna Stewart led the Mist with 24 points and 13 rebounds.

Fans took to social media to praise the Laces' effort and the competitive nature of the game.

The Laces join the Lunar Owls and Rose as teams that have clinched spots in the postseason. Mist and Vinyl are still alive in the quest for the final spot.

Vinyl is in the driver's seat for that position, as a win over the Phantom would give them a game on the Mist.

The Unrivaled playoffs will get underway on Sunday, March 16.
