New York, NY - July 6, 2005 - Liberty fans have enjoyed the 1-2 combination of Becky Hammon and Ann Wauters all season and now the rest of the country will as well. The duo will put their skills on display when they take the court at the 2005 WNBA All-Star Game this Saturday. Wauters was just named to the squad yesterday in an announcement made by the league. She is one of six reserves added to the five starters, which includes Hammon, that were announced last week. The game will air live on Saturday from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT at 4:00 p.m. on ABC.

Wauters has certainly had an All-Star caliber season thus far for the Liberty. She is leading the team in both scoring, with 13.5 ppg, and rebounding, at 6.9 rpg. Wauters has scored in double figures in eight straight games and 11 of the 13 games in 2005.
