With just a handful of games remaining in the WNBA regular season, the New York Liberty<\/a> already have their sights set on what lies ahead in the postseason. Breanna Stewart, the team\u2019s undisputed leader, knows there\u2019s one key trait that has defined their successful campaign so far.<\/p>\n

The recent win over the Seattle Storm allowed Sandy Brondello\u2019s squad to solidify their status as one of the top title contenders \u2014 even with two games still left to play.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media after the game, Stewart acknowledged that it hasn\u2019t been easy to get to this point. However, she revealed that one key factor has helped make it possible: resilience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe resiliency of this team is probably the most important part of the entire season, just the fact that it\u2019s been up and down, players in and out, roster changes, all the things you could imagine have happened to this team, but we don\u2019t want our runs to be easy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
