NEW YORK CITY—A year ago Mya Hollingshed chose to forego the WNBA Draft for a chance at an NCAA Tournament selection. That decision was the start of the buildup to Monday's entry draft, where Hollingshed was selected in the eighth overall pick in the first round to the Las Vegas Aces.
Hollingshed becomes the first CU women's basketball player selected in the first round of the WNBA Draft. Isabelle Fijalkowski was selected 2nd overall in the 1997 WNBA Elite Draft, which consisted of players who had competed professionally in other leagues prior to the inaugural WNBA season.
