Maybe the first quarter Thursday night was some sort of basketball hangover.

In a 92-75 victory over Washington on Thursday at Target Center, the Lynx spotted the Mystics an early 10-point lead. They trailed by eight after the first quarter.

Then Napheesa Collier and Minnesota took over. The Lynx (15-2) finished the second quarter on a 19-6 run to go up by five. Then they started the second half 17-4.

Collier scored 28 points, this after going 0-for-3 with no points in the first quarter. She had 10 of Minnesota’s 27 second-quarter points, nine of the team’s 27 in the third, nine more in the fourth. She finished 11-for-21 overall, making all five of her free throws; she has now made 33 straight. Alanna Smith, Kayla McBride and Courtney Williams all scored 10. Williams had eight assists, Smith three blocks.

Washington (8-10) was led by Lucy Olsen’s 19 points off the bench.

A published scale determines how long an ignition interlock program participant must use the IID, with time ranging from two to 10 years. Factors include previous offenses, a driver’s blood alcohol level, whether a driver refused a roadside test and if an offender was under 21. Failure to adhere to program requirements can tack on more time.

Ignition interlock program participants must demonstrate abstinence by “regular and consistent” use of the device. DPS defines that as providing 30 successful initial breath tests per month. Failed or missed tests can result in sanctions that include dismissal from the program and loss of all driving privileges, and possible criminal charges.

Tampering with or removing a device, not having the device calibrated by a certified dealer every 60 days or having someone else provide a breath sample also lead to sanctions. Program participants must drive a vehicle equipped with an IID. Renting a car without one is not permissible.

Drunk driving arrests in Minnesota annually topped 35,000 in the mid-2000s and something had to be done. State law allowed for a pilot project in Hennepin and Beltrami counties, and the results showed the devices were effective in reducing DWI recidivism. The pilot became law statewide.

Drivers getting an device pay for installation, removal, leasing, inspections to keep the device calibrated, insurance costs, damaged equipment and license reinstatement. The cost can add up several hundred dollars on top of court-imposed fines. The cost to the state is zero.

Minnesota Aurora FC closed out its fourth consecutive unbeaten USL W League regular season with a 2-0 victory over Rochester FC on Saturday at TCO Stadium.

Elizabeth Rapp converted a penalty kick in the eighth minute and Natalie Tavana scored in the 51st minute for the Aurora (10-0-2), who earned their fourth consecutive Heartland Division regular-season title.

The Aurora will be the top seed in the four-team Central Conference playoffs, which begin Friday in Pittsburgh’s Highmark Stadium; the conference championship game will be two days later.

“Traveling is always challenging, but part of what we’ve gotten from our regular season is traveling and playing compact games, and it shouldn’t be a new experience for a player,” head coach Jen Larrick said. “The vast majority of our group is healthy and in a good spot, and we have a lot of really strong players to choose from.”

Kings Hammer FC Cincinnati (Valley Division) will be the No. 2 seed. Great Forest Division champion Pittsburgh Riveters SC, an expansion team, has also qualified for the playoffs.

The fourth Central Conference playoff team will be the Great Lakes Division champion — either AFC Ann Arbor or Detroit City FC. Detroit City FC beat Kalamazoo FC 3-1 on Saturday to take a two-point lead in the standings over AFC Ann Arbor, which finishes the regular season Sunday against Toledo Villa FC.

Minnesota Aurora have yet to lose a regular-season match in franchise history. The Aurora are 43-0-5 record in four seasons.
