WNBA Veteran Katie Smith Signs with the Washington Mystics!


WNBA All everything, Katie Smith, will play for the Washington Mystics for the 2010 WNBA season! The former Buckeye great said all along that she definitely intended to play this season as long as health permitted (missed 2009 playoffs due to a back injury). And it looks like the 11 year veteran will be blessed with yet another season on the highest level of women's basketball. We would list all of her past career accolades, but that would literally take all night. Like Scoonie Penn, Smith does not need an introduction. To sum up her career, attitude & approach is to simply say she is a winner. Her desire to compete for championships is partly why she opted for free agency instead of playing for the Tulsa Shock. Smith will now join a Washington Mystics (led by former Duke hoopsta Alana Beard) club that reached the semi-finals of the eastern conference playoffs last season. Good luck Katie!

-Katie Smith on joining the Mystics

"I am really excited to be joining the Washington Mystics who are hungry for a championship. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the ownership group, coaches and staff and I feel that the transition will be a smooth one," said Smith. "I also look forward to playing in front of some of the best fans of the WNBA."
