The Washington Mystics on Monday acquired players Sonia Citron, Kiki Iriafen and Georgia Amoore during the first round of the 2025 WNBA draft.

Hailing from Notre Dame, Citron is a 6-foot-1 guard who averaged 14.1 points and 5.4 rebounds during her career with the Fighting Irish. The No. 3 draft pick started in 107 of the 124 games played over four seasons at the Indiana school.

The Mystics’ fourth overall pick proved to be 6-foot-3 forward Kiki Iriafen, of Southern California. With the Trojans, Iriafen averaged 18.0 points and 8.4 rebounds.

Coming in as the D.C. team’s No. 6 pick was guard Georgia Amoore, who originally hails from Ballarat, Victoria, in Australia. Amoore averaged 19.6 points and 6.9 assists for Kentucky after having transferred from Virginia Tech.

Amoore was dressed on the WNBA’s orange carpet by NBA star Russell Westbrook, who has a clothing brand called Honor The Gift. Amoore said Westbrook designed her outfit and was amazing to work with since they first got together on a Zoom session last November.

University of Maryland’s Shyanne Sellers

Maryland Terps guard Shyanne Sellers made her mark in many categories during her four-year tenure at Maryland. But, while she wasn’t drafted by her hometown WNBA team, she does have something to smile about as she was picked up by the Golden State Valkyries.

The Aurora, Ohio, native played her entire college career with the Terps and this past season, she averaged nearly 16 points per game and scored in double-figures in 23 of her 27 games. Sellers left an impressive mark with Maryland athletics as she became the first player in program history to surpass 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, and 500 assists.

The 21-year-old player led the Terps to a memorable trip to the Sweet 16 that included a 28-point performance. She became a key member of this year’s Maryland line-up that helped the Terps reach the Sweet 16, only to fall to South Carolina in the Birmingham, Alabama regional.
