MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (April 14, 2023) – Friday evening Drexel Women’s Basketball standout Keishana Washington signed a training camp contract with the Minnesota Lynx to continue her playing career professionally in the WNBA.

She continued her ascension with First Team All-CAA accolades during her senior season and garnered the 2021-22 CAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year award. Her career culminated with CAA Player of the Year honors this winter, being named First Team All-CAA for the second straight season.
