KOEHN RETURNS TO MYSTICS
'Three Point Specialist' Begins Fourth Season with Team
Washington, D.C. Washington Mystics General Manager Linda Hargrove announced today that Guard Laurie Koehn has re-signed with the team. Per company policy, terms of the contract will not be released.
“We are happy to have Laurie back with the Mystics as she has demonstrated in the last three seasons that she is one of the best shooters in the league,” said Hargrove. “Her work ethic is unparalleled and she continues to work hard to improve her overall game.”
Koehn signed with the team as free agent in 2005 and was the league’s best three point shooter with a 47% field goal percentage.

Koehn’s record setting performance of 25 points in the final round matched the NBA record of points in a single round set by Craig Hodges in 1986.
“I'm very happy to be back with the Mystics. It has been a privilege to be a part of this great organization, and I couldn't be more excited about the opportunity to be here for another season,” said Koehn,
