Orange in the WNBA: Alexander, Lynx Eliminated in Semifinals

Kayla Alexander, the lone Syracuse alumnus in the WNBA Semifinals, was eliminated along with her Minnesota Lynx by the Seattle Storm Sunday afternoon.

Seattle, the two seed in the playoffs, swept Minnesota, the four seed, in three games (88-86, 89-79, 92-71). Alexander did not appear in the semifinals.

Alexander, a seven-year veteran, averaged 2.3 points and one rebound in 16 games this season. Prior to signing with Minnesota this offseason, Alexander had stints in Chicago, Indiana, and the San Antonio Stars (now the Las Vegas Aces).

At the conclusion of her Syracuse career, Alexander was the program leader in points (2,024), blocks (350), field goals (736), free throws made (552), and games played (140, tied).
