How Stefanie Dolson is Seattle’s calm in the storm
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">SEATTLE — Seattle Storm forward <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/wnba/players/h/holmema01w.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.theixsports.com&utm_campaign=2026-05-25_bbr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Mackenzie Holmes</a> had just blocked Connecticut Sun guard <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/wnba/players/a/anglone01w.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.theixsports.com&utm_campaign=2026-05-25_bbr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Nell Angloma</a> and was letting out a celebratory scream, but the ball had not gone out of play. Quickly, new Storm center <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/wnba/players/d/dolsost01w.html?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.theixsports.com&utm_campaign=2026-05-25_bbr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Stefanie Dolson</a> got behind Holmes, physically pushing her forward to where she should be playing defense. It was only a split-second, but it encompassed much of what Dolson brings to Seattle.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I’m probably like the stickler mother,” Dolson told The IX Sports. “If someone’s celebrating, someone’s doing something, it’s like no, we have to do this, like no, move, let’s go — making sure people are in the right spots as much as I can … Just trying to be as verbal and vocal as I can on the court.”</p>
