Mercury's Prahalis And Others Represent Ohio State

The Phoenix Mercury drafted Samantha Prahalis in 2012, and before playing for Phoenix, she was a star for Ohio State. She averaged 15.1 points, 6.8 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.9 steals during her years with the Buckeyes. Prahalis was the 10th Ohio State player to make the WNBA, and since then, others have joined her. There have been 22 total, and the school's ties to the league began in 1997. There were three Buckeyes who came into the WNBA at that time. Adrienne Johnson joined the Cleveland Rockers, and she spent two years with them. Then, she was a part of an expansion draft, as she went to the Orlando Miracle. She averaged 13.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in her second season with Orlando. Yvette Angel played for the Sacramento Monarchs in 1997, and she played five games with them. Before that, she averaged 13.6 points, 5.3 assists and 4.4 rebounds during her years with Ohio State. Marcie Alberts was the third Ohio State player to appear that season, and like the other two, she was undrafted. How
