Dallas Wings star Arike Ogunbowale had an eventful Tuesday night.
The Notre Dame product fired up the Dallas offense, finishing an 85-73 win over the Atlanta Dream with 21 points. With a little under two minutes left in the game, Ogunbowale also found time to pump up the College Park Center crowd when she was ejected after being assessed two technical fouls from the bench.
Ogunbowale waved her hands in the air as she walked off the court, stopping to sign an autograph for a fan on her way to the locker room.
