Epiphanny Prince’s Arrival Raises Liberty’s Hopes of Returning to W.N.B.A. Playoffs

Epiphanny Prince had just finished her second practice with the Liberty this month when she griped to a staff member.

Feigning anger, yet still somewhat serious, Prince let the employee know that she was from Brooklyn — not Queens, as had been listed on the team’s website.

Prince was raised in the Ingersoll Houses in Fort Greene and cultivated her game on nearby blacktop courts like so many Brooklyn guards before her. But it was in Manhattan, at Murry Bergtraum High School, where she made national headlines for scoring 113 points in a game.

Such offensive proficiency has been absent from the Liberty in recent years.
