The former Maryland women’s basketball sharpshooter earns a spot in the WNBA.
Former Maryland guard Katie Benzan will keep her talents in The District after earning a roster spot on the Washington Mystics’ opening night roster following training camp.
The five-foot-six guard went undrafted in the 2022 WNBA Draft, but still did enough in preseason to make the 2019 WNBA Champions’ initial squad.
In her final season in College Park, Benzan averaged 10.2 points per game, while ranking sixth in the country in three point percentage at 44.5% respectively. Benzan earned AP All-America Honorable Mention and All-Big Ten Second Team honors for her performance in 2021-22.
