Angel Goodrich ended her career at Kansas by leading the program to its second consecutive Sweet 16 appearance this past season.
Now, Goodrich has fulfilled a lifelong dream of officially making the roster of a WNBA team, as the Tulsa
Shock announced May 23 that Goodrich had been selected for the team after competing against several other guards throughout training camp.
"I just feel stress-free and relieved," Goodrich said. "This has been a great experience. Camp was extremely competitive, and for me to make the roster - the one word that keeps coming to mind is blessed. There were a lot of guards in camp
and it was really competitive, which is exactly what the coaches want and expect. I'm just glad to have made the team."
Not only is Goodrich "blessed" to be on a WNBA roster, but she will also live out her childhood dream less than 100 miles from where she grew up.

Announcers have called Goodrich
"the other rookie point guard," as she will play the backup role to Skylar Diggins, from Notre Dame. Diggins is the Shock's third overall pick in the draft. It was also Diggins and the Fighting Irish that ended Goodrich's Jayhawk career during the Jawsh 16 round
in the NCAA tournament in March.
