The Mystics win snapped two streaks: Washington's 0-3 record in July and Indiana's five-game win streak.

Meesseman added 13 rebounds and four assists, while Sanders tied a career-high in points and set a career rebound mark with 10 boards.

The Mystics (7-6) took over in the third quarter, as Stefanie Dolson's jumper and follow-up at the end of the period gave them a 22-point lead. The Fever (8-7) managed just six points in the quarter and never recovered.
