SEATTLE – The Seattle Storm today announced that center Markeisha Gatling and guard Angel Goodrich have signed with the franchise.

Gatling, selected 10th overall in the 2014 WNBA Draft by Chicago, was waived by the Sky on June 3, 2015. She played in 29 games in 2014, averaging 3.7 points and 2.4 rebounds per game.

A 2014 graduate of North Carolina State, Gatling set a school single-season record in field goal percentage (.663) and also holds NC State’s all-time record in the same statistic (.628).
