Charlotte, N.C. ? Andrea Stinson scored 13 points and Tammy Sutton-Brown added 11, leading Charlotte to its first win of the season, 66-57, Thursday night over Indiana.

The Sting, 74-70 losers to Washington in last week’s season-opener, gave first-year coach Trudi Lacey a victory in just her second game.

“Hey, this is our first win of many,” Lacey said over the microphone to the crowd after the game.

Tamika Catchings, the WNBA rookie of the year last season, scored 19 points to lead Indiana in its season opener. Natalie Williams and Nikki McCray added 11 points each.

Charlotte never trailed, taking a 9-2 lead. Stinson scored the Sting’s first seven points on a layup, a running jumper, a free throw, and another jumper.

Indiana had to play catch-up from there, falling behind 31-25 at halftime.

The Fever cut it to 36-34 on Natalie Williams’ layup with 15:46 to play, but the Sting responded with a 10-2 run to retake control of the game.

Charlotte held Indiana to 33 percent shooting, forced 16 turnovers and had six steals.
