Stefanie Dolson, a 2010 Minisink Valley graduate, has signed a contract with the Seattle Storm, continuing her 12-year WNBA career.
“I’m so excited to join the Storm. They’ve set the standard in women’s basketball for years, and I look forward to being part of a team that prioritizes its players and is backed by an incredible fan base,” said Dolson, a center. “I can’t wait to bring my veteran leadership and fun energy to the squad!”
Dolson’s career began in 2014 when she was selected No. 6 overall by the Washington Mystics. She spent three seasons in Washington, appearing in every regular season game and earning 2015 Eastern Conference All-Star honors. Traded to the Chicago Sky in 2017, Dolson averaged 14.5 points and 5.8 rebounds while shooting 56.1% from the field, securing her second All-Star selection.
Dolson signed with the New York Liberty in 2022, where she started every game, averaging 8.1 points and 4.8 rebounds, and helped lead the team to the 2023 Commissioner’s Cup title. She spent the last two years with the Mystics. Dolson won two national championships at the University of Connecticut (2013-14).
“Stef brings a championship pedigree and a veteran presence that aligns with our culture and our direction,” said Storm General Manager Talisa Rhea. “She’s the kind of player who elevates a locker room through her professionalism, consistency and approach to the game. Her versatility adds real value to our roster, and we’re excited for Stef to step into this group and be part of what we’re continuing to build here.”
