SEATTLE - Seattle Storm head coach and director of player personnel

Brian Agler announced today the signing of 5-4 guard

AQuonesia Franklin for the remainder of the 2009 WNBA regular season since the Storms active roster dropped below nine players.

Because of her prior experience with us, AQuonesia will fill the void in our roster nicely, said Agler. We are pleased she was available to join us for the remainder of the season.

The Tyler, Texas native was added to the 2009 Storm training camp roster on May 7. She played one preseason game for Seattle, scoring three points, grabbing one rebound and handing out three assists in 18 minutes vs. Sacramento on May 21. The Storm waived Franklin on June 4, 2009.
