Army star Kelsey Minato gets a chance to play in WNBA
UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Kelsey Minato dreamed of playing in the WNBA growing up but wasn't sure that would ever become a reality.
Minato enrolled at West Point four years ago and has a military service requirement after graduation. Yet she recently finished off the most decorated career in women's basketball history at the school, and now, she just may get that chance.
The guard was invited by the San Antonio Stars to training camp by coach Dan Hughes. She already survived the team's first round of cuts but knows it's a long shot she'll make the roster when the season opens on May 14.
"It's been a great experience," she said Wednesday before the Stars played in an exhibition tournament in Connecticut.
