LONG BEACH - Former 49er women's basketball player Karina Figueroa returns to the Walter Pyramid this weekend as a member of the Los Angeles Sparks. The team will take on the San Antonio Silver Stars in a WNBA exhibition game on Saturday, May 8. Tip-off is slated for 12:30 p.m.

The price for Long Beach State students is $5, while faculty and staff get in for $10. General admission is $15.

The Sparks will also be holding an open practice from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Walter Pyramid on Friday, May 7. An autograph session will immediately follow.

Figueroa and the Sparks began their training camp on April 26. In their preseason opener last Saturday at Viejas Arena in San Diego, the Sparks defeated the Chinese National Team, 78-58. Figueroa played 15 minutes, finishing with two points, three assists and one steal.

Figueroa signed a one-year contract which will be honored if she successfully makes the 11-player roster.
