UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Brene Moseley of the Maryland women's basketball team was selected by the Indiana Fever with the 21st pick overall in the 2016 WNBA Draft presented by State Farm Thursday night from the Mohegan Sun Arena.
Moseley led the Terrapins in assists with 5.9 per game and led the Big Ten with her assist/turnover ratio of 2.4. She averaged 11.6 points per game and was named the Big Ten's Sixth Player of the Year, to the Big Ten Second Team and a Nancy Lieberman Award finalist for the nation's top point guard.
Eleven players in Brenda Frese's 14 years at Maryland have been drafted. Moseley is the 15th Terrapin in history to be drafted since the league began in 1997.
Marissa Coleman and Kristi Toliver went second and third overall in 2009, while Crystal Langhorne went sixth and Laura Harper was the 10th pick in the 2008 draft. Tianna Hawkins was selected sixth overall by the Seattle Storm in 2013 and Alyssa Thomas went fourth overall to the Liberty in 2014.
The Indiana Fever went 20-14 overall in the 2015 season and advanced to the WNBA Finals. Former Terrapins Coleman and Lynetta Kizer currently play for the Fever.
In her career, Moseley helped the Terrapins to three conference tournament titles, two Final Fours and an Elite Eight. She played in 142 career games, just shy of Coleman's program-record of 144.
