UNCASVILLE, CONN. – The Indiana Fever dropped Wednesday night’s road game at the Connecticut Sun, 88-67.

Indiana opened up the game with a 9-2 lead, but after a Sun timeout, Connecticut (3-0) rallied to take a 19-18 lead with 2:14 remaining in the first quarter and would not trail the rest of the game.

Danielle Robinson led the Fever (0-3) in scoring for the first time this season with 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting and a 2-of-3 clip from beyond the arc.

Tiffany Mitchell led the Fever reserves with 10 points and another perfect shooting clip from the charity stripe. Her 435 made free throws trails Tammy Sutton-Brown with 444 for the third most free throws made in franchise history.

Teaira McCowan finished with eight points and six rebounds, giving her 498 rebounds for her career. If she is able to secure two more rebounds in Friday’s home game against Atlanta at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, she will be the eighth player in WNBA history to reach 500 rebounds in the first 60 games or less to start a WNBA career.

In her WNBA debut for the Fever, center Bernadett Határ added six points and five rebounds in more than 18 minutes of action off the bench.

For Connecticut, Natisha Hiedeman led all scorers off the bench with 19 points and a game-high six assists. Jonquel Jones poured in a 17-point, 11-rebound double-double effort. Brionna Jones and DeWanna Bonner each finished with 16 and 13 points each
