Aerial Powers explodes for 35-point career high in win for Minnesota Lynx over the Phoenix Mercury

One of the greatest pure scorers in the history of Michigan State Women’s Basketball is finally starting to make a name for herself at the WNBA level. Aerial Powers has made a nice career in the W, but this season with the Minnesota Lynx, she has started to become a star and has helped them start to turn a disappointing season around.

On Tuesday night, Powers set a new career-high in scoring with 35-points to go along with 12 rebounds in a double overtime win over Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury.

Powers is now averaging 14.7 points per game as she continues to breakout as a start in the women’s game.
