Elizabeth Kitley · The 14-month journey between games might’ve represented a long, grueling journey for Elizabeth Kitley, but upon finding gaps in the New York Liberty’s defense, the three-time All-American decided that her path to a first-ever WNBA score would be anything but. Back healthy — and now a year wiser after observing Most Valuable Player-winning teammates and All-Stars from afar — Kitley pens her first entry through the league’s history books by breaking free on a creative inbounds set, accompanied by a simple-yet-effective off-glass finish.
