SEATTLE (AP) Nneka Ogwumike scored 22 points to move into sixth place on the WNBA\u2019s all-time scoring list and the Seattle Storm<\/a> beat the Golden State Valkyries<\/a> 67-58 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Ogwumike passed Candice Dupree (6,895 points) by one point and is now behind Tamika Catchings, who scored 7,380 in her career.<\/p>\n

The Storm (14-9) went to Ogwumike quite often down the stretch. She had 11 of her 22 points in the fourth quarter, including a pivotal layup with 2:09 remaining and a pair of free throws at the 1:18 mark to put Seattle up 61-54.<\/p>\n

Erica Wheeler had a strong third quarter, sinking back-to-back 3-pointers early and following with a running layup at the 7:41 mark to put the Storm up 39-33.<\/p>\n

With 2:32 to go in the third, Wheeler converted a three-point play to give Seattle a 45-37 lead. The Valkyries (10-12) made it 56-54 with just 4:48 to go in regulation on a layup from Veronica Burton.<\/p>\n

Ogwumike\u2019s late efforts were enough to stymie the late Golden State push.<\/p>\n

Wheeler had 15 points. Skylar Diggins scored 10 and Lexie Brown scored seven off the bench.<\/p>\n

Cecilia Zandalasini had 12 points and Janelle Salaun scored 10 for the Valkyries.<\/p>\n

The Storm host the Dallas Wings on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Valkyries host the Dallas Wings on July 25.<\/p>\n
