Breanna Stewart's wife Marta Xargay calls attention to soft New York Liberty foul call amid alleged refereeing errors

The Las Vegas Aces ran into a highly determined New York Liberty squad led by Breanna Stewart in this year's WNBA semifinals. The Liberty entered the series looking for revenge after the Aces beat them in the Finals last year while Las Vegas was determined to reach the Finals and win the title for the third straight year.

With these teams being extremely motivated for different reasons, players from both sides have played physical basketball. However, there have been some questionable foul calls coming from the officials. One such call was pointed out by Marta Xargay, a former Phoenix Mercury player and Stewart's wife.

Xargay expressed her frustrations at the foul calls on X, formerly Twitter, by retweeting a clip of a foul called against the Liberty. Xargay did not have words and instead used the 'double exclamation point' emoji three times.

In the first game, there were a total of 31 personal fouls called, 15 on the Aces and 16 on the Liberty. There was a slightly higher volume of fouls in the second game, with a total of 41; 22 were called on the Aces and 19 on the Liberty.

Then in Game 3, there was a lower number of calls; 13 were called on the Aces while the Liberty were assessed with 10. In the fourth and final game, the Aces combined for 15 while the Liberty were given 20.

In total, 65 personal fouls were called on both teams equally.
