Kia Nurse loved everything about the University of Connecticut. But after four years, she was ready move on.

The basketball part of her college career ended on March 30 when the Huskies lost to Notre Dame in the national semifinals at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. The school part concluded Saturday when the two-time academic All-American was awarded her bachelor's degree during graduation ceremonies in Storrs.

"Graduation was amazing and my parents were excited about it as well," Nurse said Monday. "For me, it was a big goal. I'm fortunate that I had the opportunity to come back for graduation and walk, but I'm really excited to get started with this."

Nurse, a 6-foot guard, made her preseason debut with the New York Liberty at Mohegan Sun Arena. The team's first-round draft pick (No. 10 overall) had 10 points and four rebounds in the Liberty's 76-69 loss to the Dallas Wings.
