UNCASVILLE, CT. (April 20, 2004) — The Connecticut Sun announced today that it has signed former Stanford All American Jamila Wideman to a training camp contract.

The 5-foot-6 Wideman was selected third overall in the 1997 WNBA Draft by the Los Angeles Sparks after a storied career at Stanford, where she led the Cardinal to the Final Four as a senior. She finished with 585 career assists at Stanford, third in school history, fourth in PAC-10 history.
