BOX SCORE
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Adrienne Goodson scored 23 points to lead the Utah Starzz to a 66-63 WNBA victory over the expansion Seattle Storm on Tuesday night. The victory was a franchise-record fourth in a row for the Starzz, and their 7-5 record is their best for the first 12 games of a season. Seattle (2-8) has lost three straight. Margo Dydek scored 17 points and pulled down eight rebounds for the Starzz. But Dydek went to the sideline with a sprained right ankle with 9:37 left. In the four minutes she was out, Seattle made a 7-0 run to narrow Utah's lead to 54-51. But Utah held on as Seattle never got closer than 65-63 in the final minute. Edna Campbell led the Storm with 17 points, including 11 in the second half. Kamila Vodichkova added 14 and reserve Michelle Edwards scored 10. Utah played for the second straight game without All-Star forward Natalie Williams, who strained her lower back in pregame warmups Sunday and is listed as day-to-day. She was replaced Tuesday by rookie Naomi Mulitauaopele, who tied her season high with 10 points. The game was played at the Delta Center before 5,376 fans. | ALSO SEE WNBA Scoreboard RECAPS Phoenix 74 Minnesota 55
