Anda Ramat Hasharon is leaving for Washington tonight for their special and historical preseason game against the Mystics this Sunday (3PM ET). Check out the full roster inside, it includes a few surprises.
Anda Ramat Hasharon is taking off to Washington tonight with the full Israeli roster from this past season. The team will be joined in Washington by Rada Vidovic and Kim Butler, who played for the club this past year, and by Daliborka Vilipic who recently signed with the team for next season. Edwina Brown, Petra Ujhelyi and Marianna Raguz, who played in Israel for several years, will play with Ramat Hasharon as well.
For Washington it will be the 3rd and final preseason game, but the team doesn't have their full lineup in tact. Alana Beard and Nikki Teasely, the starting back court, are both injured. Chasity Melvin and DeLisha Milton, the starting posts, recently ended their seasons in Russia and Spain respectively and should join the team in the next few days and probably play against Ramat Hasharon. Meanwhile the Mystics have relied on the 6th overall pick out of Baylor, Bernice Mosby, along with Crystal Robinson, Coco Miller, Tamara James and Rita Williams.
In their 1st preseason game, the Mystics lost to the Chicago Sky (without Monique Currie), 60-63. Mosby and Miller led the Mystics with 11 points each, Robinson and Williams added 9 points each. In their 2nd game, Detroit defeated the Mystics 73-55. Mosby again led the way with 14 points and 11 rebounds, Tamara James added 9 points. Washington had 25 turnovers in the game. Tomorrow the Mystics will host the New York Liberty for a scrimmage.
The Israeli embassy in Washington will host Anda Ramat Hasharon for an official event on Thursday evening. The Jewish Community Relation Council is sponsoring the team on this prestigious journey, several Jewish schools have contacted the club asking for tickets for the game.
