"Virginia's Lyndra Littles Gets Drafted by the Sun!"

I want to send a special thanks to Lyndra for stopping by practice last night.  It was great for the girls to spend time with a role model like you.  Lyndra just finished for the season playing in Poland.  Good Luck to you in the future and feel free to swing by anytime.
