In a thrilling Sunday showdown at Mohegan Sun Arena, the Seattle Storm (1-1) powered past the Connecticut Sun (0-2) with an 89-82 victory that had fans on the edge of their seats. The game marked another strong outing for former Lady Vol standout Jordan Horston, who continues to make her presence felt in the WNBA.

Horston, the versatile 6-foot-2 forward, earned her second consecutive start for Seattle and logged 15 minutes of impactful play. She contributed across the board with four points, three rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block, showcasing the all-around game that made her a fan favorite at Tennessee. Despite a 1-of-4 shooting night from the field, she was perfect from the charity stripe, sinking both free throw attempts.

This performance follows a solid opening day effort, where Horston also started and played 15 minutes in Seattle's loss to Golden State, grabbing four rebounds and adding a block. The WNBA's second-year pro is quickly establishing herself as a reliable piece in the Storm's rotation.

Horston's journey to the pros is a testament to her hard work and talent. During her standout career at Tennessee from 2019 to 2023, she was a two-time All-SEC First Team selection and earned Associated Press and WBCA All-America honorable mention honors twice. Appearing in 114 games with 91 starts for the Lady Vols, she amassed impressive career totals of 1,145 points, 731 rebounds, 455 assists, 109 blocks, and 163 steals.

Selected as the No. 9 overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft, Horston quickly made her mark, earning a spot on the 2023 WNBA All-Rookie Team. The Columbus, Ohio native, who prepped at Columbus Africentric Early College High School, continues to represent Vol Nation with pride on the professional stage. As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Horston to see how she builds on this early momentum.
