As a senior at Maryland, Kizer was named the 2012 ACC Sixth Player of the Year, averaging 11.4 points and 5.6 rebounds for the 31-5 Terrapins. She was named to the ACC All-Tournament First Team and was an All-ACC Honorable Mention. Over a four-year career, Kizer averaged 12.2 points on 48.6 percent shooting and 7.2 rebounds per game. Kizer will wear No. 12 for the Mercury.

The Mercury (4-11) returns home from a season-high four-game road trip to take on the defending Eastern Conference champion Dream on Saturday. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m. Tickets are available starting as low as $10 by calling 602-252-WNBA or by visiting phoenixmercury.com.
