MSU senior forward Syreeta Bromfield is now a member of the WNBA's Detroit Shock.

The Shock selected Bromfield with their third-round pick, the 28th overall selection in Friday's draft, making the 6-foot forward the first Spartan on a WNBA roster.

Bromfield played two seasons for the Spartans, averaging a team-best 15.6 points in her junior season. Her team-leading 14.7 points per contest this season guided MSU to its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1997.
