USVI's Aliyah Boston helps Indiana Fever break 20-game losing streak

ATLANTA, Georgia, USA- In her debut season with the Indiana Fever, basketball star Aliyah Boston, a Virgin Islands native, has helped the team secure their first victory since June 19, 2022, breaking a 20-game losing streak, a record previously tied for the longest in Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) history. The team triumphed over the Atlanta Dream with a score of 90-87 on Sunday, May 28, 2023.

The victory marked a turning point for the Fever, who hadn't tasted victory for nearly a year. Coach Christie Sides, who was appointed in November 2022, emphasized the importance of culture in their resurgence. "Culture, playing hard, being the hardest-working team in practice. These guys have worked really hard every day," she affirmed.

Since the retirement of franchise legend Tamika Catchings in 2016, the Fever have struggled to return to their former glory. The team had previously made 12 consecutive playoff appearances, including three trips to the WNBA Finals and a victory in the 2012 league championship.
