ATLANTA(AP) Scholanda Robinson scored a career-high 17 points to lift the Sacramento Monarchs to their fifth straight victory, a 79-66 win Tuesday over the Atlanta Dream.

Rookie Laura Harper had a career-high 12 rebounds in the afternoon game attended by several summer youth clubs.

Atlanta, losers of three straight, dropped to a league-worst 3-22. Ivory Latta and Kasha Terry each scored 15 points for the Dream.

In the third quarter, Robinson went 4-for-4 from the field and hit 4 of 6 free throws for 12 points.
