Man City in pole position to sign Anderson
Manchester City is set to sign Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest.
Six UCLA women's basketball players who won the NCAA championship began WNBA training camp on Sunday, just weeks after their victory. The WNBA regular season starts soon, with Bruins facing off in the opener on May 8th.
If you feel like youâve been busy this past month, the senior class from the UCLA womenâs basketball team has you beat. After winning the NCAA championship on April 5th, six UCLA Bruins have been drafted and began WNBA training camp less than three weeks later.
Thatâs just the season for rookies entering the WNBA, as the start of the WNBA regular season is less than three weeks away. That gives the six champion Bruins just over a month between the historic championship run and the start of their professional careers.
For four of the Bruins, they wonât be having to do it alone. Lauren Betts and Angela Dugalic will be together with the Washington Mystics while Gianna Kneepkens and Charlisse Leger-Walker suiting up for the Connecticut Sun.
All six, Gabriela Jaquez and Kiki Rice included, began training camp on Sunday with their respective teams. We wonât have to wait long for the Bruins to go head-to-head on either, with Rice and the Toronto Tempo taking on Betts and Dugalic on May 8th for the season opener.
The Bruins have a couple players deserving of a break. Jaquez and Rice now sit in second and third in terms of games played in the programâs history at 145 and 143 games played. Not only did Rice and Jaquez have longevity with UCLA, Riceâs senior season was tied for the fifth-most minutes in a season in the programâs history. Jaquez wasn't far behind her, finishing with the ninth-most minutes in a single-season this year.
The six UCLA players in training camp are Lauren Betts, Angela Dugalic, Gianna Kneepkens, Charlisse Leger-Walker, Gabriela Jaquez, and Kiki Rice.
The WNBA regular season begins on May 8th, with the UCLA players set to compete in the season opener.
Lauren Betts and Angela Dugalic are joining the Washington Mystics, while Gianna Kneepkens and Charlisse Leger-Walker will play for the Connecticut Sun.
