Fresh off a championship this Spring in Israel, Liberty center Kia Vaughn is expecting to play a big role in bringing a WNBA title to New York this summer.

Vaughn can finally shake off the rookie jitters as she enters her second season in the WNBA and now focus on continuing to be a key frontline player on a Liberty team that added several All-Star players prior to training camp.

“Kia Vaughn had a good rookie season but will have a great second season,” said head coach Anne Donovan, one of the best post players in women’s hoops history.
