Two Virginia Tech women’s basketball stars are taking their talents to the WNBA.

Kayana Traylor was the 23rd overall selection by Chicago earlier this month in the WNBA draft, and Taylor Soule was taken 28th by Minnesota.

The 5-foot-9 Traylor averaged 11 points for the Hokies with a high of 25 against Virginia.

At 5-foot-11, Soule averaged 11 points, six rebounds and led the team with 40 steals.

Both were transfers, with Traylor coming to Blacksburg from Purdue and Soule from Boston College.

Tech finished 31-5 under Kenny Brooks, the first Black coach to take his team to an ACC tournament title. The Hokies were eliminated in the NCAA semifinals by eventual champion LSU.

The overall No. 1 draft selection was Aliyah Boston of South Carolina. The 6-foot-5 native of the Virgin Islands was selected by the Indiana Fever.

Boston averaged 11 points, nine rebounds and two blocked shots under Coach Dawn Staley, helping the Gamecocks to a 36-1 record. South Carolina lost to Iowa in the NCAA semifinals.
