The Utah Starzz and Sacramento Monarchs are now 1-1 against each other.

Next time it'll be for real.

The Starzz of the new WNBA dropped an exhibition game to the Monarachs on Saturday in the Delta Center. They got a little revenge Monday in Sacramento's Memorial Auditorium, beating the Monarchs 76-73.

The same two teams will meet Saturday in the Delta Center in the regular-season opener for both.

Starzz guard Lady Hardmon led the way with 21 points Monday night. Center/forward Wendy Palmer added 14 points and 11 boards, while forward Deborah Carter netted 12.
