The Shock won the WNBA championship in 2003, 06 and 08. Edwards joins Skylar Diggins, the Notre Dame superstar who was the number 1 pick in the WNBA draft in 2013. After finishing the 2013 season 11-23 the Shock are looking to start afresh this season.

Head coach of the Shock, Fred William, was excited for Edwards addition to his team, “Ariel has had a great career at Penn State and I look forward to seeing her in camp,” said Williams. “Ariel had a terrific senior year at Penn State. She’s a powerful presence in the post and can help us in our interior area.”

We wish Ariel the best of luck at the next level!
