Indiana Fever News Release

INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Fever has selected Georgia Tech center Sasha Goodlett with the 11th pick in the 2012 WNBA Draft presented by Boost Mobile. Goodlett helped the Yellow Jackets to a record 26 wins last season, while leading Tech to its first appearance in the NCAA Sweet Sixteen.

The 6-5 native of Jackson, Miss., averaged 14.5 points and 7.7 rebounds as a senior. She finished her career at Georgia Tech ranked among career leaders in points scored (10th, 1,364), rebounds (9th, 760) and blocked shots (5th, 127). During her final campaign, Goodlett earned All-ACC Second Team and ACC All-Tournament First Team accolades as she helped the Jackets to 12 ACC wins and a 26-9 mark overall. The Yellow Jackets played in the ACC Championship Game for only the second time in school history.

Goodlett is just the second Georgia Tech player ever chosen in the first round of the WNBA Draft, following Alex Montgomery's No. 10 selection, last season, by the New York Liberty. She played at Tech under MaChelle Joseph whose career began as a player and assistant coach at Purdue under current Fever coach Lin Dunn.
