Natalie Achonwa dishes on Pan Am experience, Kia Nurse

From her days as a few member with national power Notre Dame as well as her experiences as a rookie with the WNBA's Indiana Fever, Natalie Achonwa has seen an impressive individual performance during her playing career.

Achonwa had one of the best vantage points for UConn's Kia Nurse's spectacular performance in the gold-medal game in the Pan Am Games. Nurse scored 33 points to lead Canada to a win over a U.S. team led by UConn All-Americans Breanna Stewart and Moriah Jefferson.

"She was in a daze, she was in a phase and it was really great," Achonwa said before Tuesday's Indiana/Connecticut WNBA game at Mohegan Sun Arena.
