Walking on sunshine: Jessica January drafted by Connecticut Sun

DePaul women’s basketball guard Jessica January was drafted 28th overall by the Connecticut Sun in the 3rd round of the WNBA Draft on Thursday.

“I was watching it on TV with my teammates Meri Bennett-Swanson and Megan Waldron, Eli Cain of the men’s team, and coach Doug Bruno,” January said. “When my name flashed on the screen, Meri started screaming, and coach Bruno stood up and shouted.”
