The Sparks didn't let anyone get close this time around as they closed the 2001 season Saturday with a convincing 82-54 rout of Charlotte to complete a series sweep for the WNBA Title.
Levandusky, one of the three Xavier players drafted in April, made the Sparks during tryouts in May and spent the entire season with the club. She appeared in 13 games, averaging 1.5 points in 5.2 minutes per contest.
While at Xavier, Levandusky established herself as an all-around player, holding the school records for threes and steals and ending her career in the top three all-time in scoring.
The Palmerton, Pa., native took time from the Sparks' training camp to return to the Cintas Center in May to participate in Xavier's graduation ceremonies with her four senior teammates.
Taru Tuukkanen, a classmate of Levandusky's, is beginning her pro career this week with training camp overseas. The Helsinki, Finland, native will be playing in Calais, France this season.
