Nobody in Wings history’s done it.

Ogunbowale finished with 20 points, a career-high 14 assists, one rebound, and one steal. Her 14 assists tied the most ever recorded in a single game in Wings history. But the real headline came by halftime.
She had already put up 15 points and 10 assists in the first half, securing a rare points and assists double-double in just two quarters. That made her the first player in Dallas Wings history to record a points/assists double-double in a single half, and only the third player in WNBA history to ever do it.
