The undefeated New York Liberty — the reigning WNBA champions — face off against the Indiana Fever in a Commissioner’s Cup matchup this Saturday, June 14, at 3:00 PM ET. New York won its last contest against the Fever, 90-88, on May 24.

Kennedy Burke became just the fifth player in WNBA history to shoot 100% from three-point range on more than three attempts in back-to-back games. She finished with 15 points, three of which were three-pointers. Burke is in her second season with the Liberty.
Tonight, Kennedy Burke became one of only 5 players in @WNBA history to shoot 100% from beyond the arc on more than three attempts in consecutive games, joining Catherine Kraayeveld (as the only other NYL player to do so), Jennifer Azzi, Briann January, and Alysha Clark.

“I had a great conversation with Kennedy in the offseason about what her role would look like, and this is exactly what I imagined. We have confidence in her,” said Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello. “She’s looking good, feeling good, and knowing that her players trust her out there.”
