Regan Magarity got drafted by the Connecticut Sun, while teammate Taylor Emery was left to wonder where she would end up after going undrafted. She didn't have to wait long, receiving four offers to sign as an undrafted free agent to come to training camp to compete for a roster spot. She chose to sign with the Minnesota Lynx and will report next month to their training camp.

Just for good measure, while she competes on the court, she will also get to continue her education thanks to being selected as a recipient of a post graduate scholarship.
Congrats to the @hokiesports' Postgraduate Scholarship Award recipients: Taylor Emery, Ian Ho, and Jaila Tolbert!📰 https://t.co/bT6Jgff0DD#ACC | #Hokies 🦃 pic.twitter.com/sy2G4lqPx1— The ACC (@theACC) April 10, 2019

Fantastic! Good luck Taylor!
Wow! Really solid news for ladies hoops.
Awesome news! Congrats Taylor!!!
Great news! Hopefully this helps generate recruiting momentum for Coach Brooks.
Side note: if you've never gone to a WNBA game...they are tons of fun! I highly recommend if you're looking for a fun family outing.
Taylor was also admitted to the Vet school. She is a really impressive young woman.
That's very impressive for an athlete. Tough to get in all the labs and practicum hours on an athlete's schedule. My daughter's VT roommate was an excellent student and she did not get accepted to the VT vet school.
