Arlington, TX –The Dallas Wings have signed guard Leticia Romero. Romero, who
was originally drafted by the Connecticut Sun with the 16th pick in the 2017
WNBA Draft, will wear #10 for the Wings.
“We felt we needed more production from our bench, “Wings President & CEO Greg
Bibb stated. “Leticia is a young guard with international experience who we
expect will provide quality minutes in support of our starters once acclimated
to our system.”
Romero, a 5-8 native of Las Palmas, Spain who competed collegiately at Florida
State, brings international experience to the roster after playing with the
Spanish National Team and helping the side win the 2017 European Women’s
Basketball Championship. She also played a big role in helping her country
qualify for the Olympic Games in 2016, where the team won a silver medal. Romero
was the second youngest player on that roster, which included current and former
WNBA players Astou Ndour, Anna Cruz, and Marta Xargay.
During her senior season at Florida State (2016-17), Romero was named
All-America Honorable Mention (AP), All-ACC Second Team and led the ACC in
three-point field goal percentage (50.9 %). During the 2015-16 season, she was
named Honorable Mention All-America (WBCA), and averaged 16.3 points per game,
3.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists. In that campaign, she was also named to the NCAA
Greensboro All-Regional Team and while helping lead the Seminoles to the Elite
Eight.
For the Wings to make room on roster, the team has waived guard Saniya Chong.
