WNBA: Western Conference Teams Square-off Tuesday

The Seattle Storm will travel to the Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday, Aug. 6, for a 10 p.m. tip on ESPN2. Currently in third place, the Mercury are coming off a win over the Atlanta Dream – the second-place team in the Eastern Conference — and recently welcomed back rookie Brittney Griner, who missed the majority of the season due to injury. Phoenix is led by Diana Taurasi (22.1 ppg, 5.5 apg), while Seattle veteran Tina Thompson, who is retiring at the conclusion of the season, leads the Storm with 12.5 points per game. Pam Ward will call the game with analyst Carolyn Peck.

A part of the Internal Communications team at ESPN, I began with the network in 2010 as part of the College Sports PR team. Always an avid sports fan and not an athlete – I grew up a huge fan of the Hartford Whalers, while also watching my brother compete at different levels. I became the manager of several high school sports teams and continued that hobby into college. While at Quinnipiac, I worked in the Sports Information Department, which led me to a summer internship at the New Haven Ravens, a AA baseball team, and an eventual job with the Athletic Communications Department at the University of Connecticut. After my five-year stint at Connecticut, I spent six years as Director of Communications at the BIG EAST Conference in Providence, R.I. before joining ESPN.
