PHOENIX - Phoenix Mercury General Manager Ann Meyers Drysdale today announced the signing of Lenae Williams to a training camp contract. Per team policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Williams spent the 2009-10 offseason overseas, participating in Eurocup competition for USO Mondeville in Mondeville, France. She was her team's leading scorer, posting averages of 17.0 points on 53.2 percent shooting, 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 33.1 minutes per game.

Williams, a 6-1 guard from DePaul University, was drafted by the Detroit Shock with the 18th pick (second round) of the 2002 WNBA Draft. She appeared in 27 games for the Shock that season, averaging 2.7 points per game. In 2003 she was a part of a trade that sent her to the Phoenix Mercury along with Edwina Brown, but never appeared in a game for the Mercury.

The Phoenix Mercury has been providing affordable and entertaining basketball in the Valley for 13 seasons. The two-time WNBA Championship team will begin its title defense on May 15 at US Airways Center against the Los Angeles Sparks with tip off set for 11 a.m. Lower-level tickets are available for as little as $10 a game for the 18-game season and can be purchased on phoenixmercury.com or by calling 602-252-WNBA.
