Susan Moran was last night drafted to the WNBA team the New York Liberty to become the first Irish basketball player to play in America's top league. Moran's dream to play in the world's top basketball league finally came true after a superb performance for the New York team on Saturday. Liberty played the Comets in an exhibition game at the weekend and in her two minutes court-time, Moran scored an incredible 4-points.
While many Irish players aspire to be part of the world's greatest basketball league, never before in the history of Irish Basketball has a player achieved what Tullamore girl, Moran accomplished when she was drafted to the Liberty late last night. Moran was drafted to the injured-reserve list which, means she cannot play in the first three games. Thereafter she will become part of the Liberty squad.
The WNBA season tips off this weekend with Liberty in action against the LA Sparks on Saturday May 25th.
