BOX SCORE
CLEVELAND (AP) -- Mery Andrade scored 13 points and three other Cleveland players scored in double figures Saturday night in the Rockers' lopsided 76-47 victory over the Miami Sol. Rushia Brown and Suzie McConnell Serio each scored 11 points and Merlakia Jones added 10 for Cleveland. The Rockers (13-9) maintained a lead of more than 20 points for the entire second half and won for the fifth time in six games. The Rockers moved within one game of the first-place Orlando Miracle in the Eastern Conference. Miami (9-15) had a two-game winning streak stopped. The Sol were led by Katrina Colleton, who scored a team-high of eight points. Colleton shot only 3-for-12 as Miami made only 30 percent of its shots from the field. The Sol fell two games behind Detroit in the race for the fourth and final playoff berth in the conference. Cleveland broke away from a 7-7 tie with a 16-0 run over a 5:25 span. Brown began the flurry with two driving layups. Jones scored the final five points of the run on two more layups and a free throw. The Rockers shot 60 percent from the field in the first half and held a 41-20 halftime lead. The expansion Sol won the first two meetings, both at home. With reserves playing during most of the second half, all 12 players on both teams scored. | ALSO SEE WNBA Scoreboard RECAPS Cleveland 76 Miami 47
