Connecticut’s Bria Harley and Chicago’s Rebecca Allen each received ejections for starting the scuffle, while the Sky’s Ariel Atkins’ night ended early “for being an escalator” after shoving Hartley and touching a referee, according to crew chief Angelia Suffern as reported by ESPN.

So much so that three players were ejected in the first half after a heated scuffle. The altercation started after Sun guard Bria Hartley delivered a hard foul on the Sky’s Rebecca Allen, who pulled on Hartley’s jersey as she hit the deck. Hartley did not appreciate the gesture and started screaming at Allen.
