Rookie Seimone Augustus will make her home debut tonight at the University of Minnesota Sports Pavilion when the Lynx play host to the Seattle Storm in their second and final exhibition game of the season.
Augustus, twice the college player of the year at Louisiana State, was chosen No. 1 by the Lynx last month in the WNBA draft. In the Lynx's exhibition opener last Sunday at Phoenix, she scored 30 points in 39 minutes in a 96-90 overtime loss.
Coach Suzie McConnell Serio is excited to showcase her new team.
"These players have worked so hard in camp,'' she said. "And with Seimone, she is the real deal.
"She has put on a clinic in training camp, including in scrimmages against guys teams. She's not only a force on the offensive end. What will surprise a lot of people is that she could become our defensive stopper.''
