With the first selection in this year's WNBA Draft, the Atlanta Dream selected U of L's all-time leading scorer, Angel McCoughtry.

The Dream finished 4-30 in their inaugural season, setting a WNBA record for losses, but they added former All-Stars Chamique Holdsclaw and Michelle Snow, as well as Nikki Teasley and Sancho Lyttle in the offseason.

Congrats to Angel, and best of luck to her at the next level.

Angel is a Class Act

How cool for our UofL Women that we have 2 athletes going to be playing in the WNBA next year. Angel will have impact on that losing squad as soon as she gets there. They made room for her under the salary cap……….and now its up to her. Sorry they did not make the title game but UCONN was destined to complete their season undefeated. I am so proud to watch and be a part of the Angel dynasty and will miss her style of play. GO Dream!!
