NEW YORK LIBERTY ANNOUNCES 2010 REGULAR SEASON SCHEDULE

May 16th Season Opener Versus Chicago Tips Off 17 Games at The Garden

The New York Liberty announced its 2010 regular season schedule today, the franchise’s 14th year as a charter member of the Women’s National Basketball Association.

“As one of the WNBA’s original franchises, we are proud to be tipping off our 14th season at Madison Square Garden next summer,” said team President and General Manager, Carol Blazejowski. “We look forward to providing our loyal fans with a competitive, up-tempo brand of basketball, in a fun-filled atmosphere that has made the Liberty experience second to none.”

The season will open in front of the team’s home crowd at Madison Square Garden for the third consecutive year and sixth time in franchise history, when Hall of Fame Head Coach Anne Donovan leads the Liberty squad against the Chicago Sky on Sunday, May 16.

Highlights of the 17-game schedule at The Garden include two Friday night showdowns with two New York natives, beginning with Chamique Holdsclaw and the Atlanta Dream on June 11, followed by Sue Bird and the Seattle Storm on June 18. WNBA All-Star Tamika Catchings and the reigning Eastern Conference Champion Indiana Fever will make their first appearance of the summer on Sunday, July 18. The league’s oldest rivalry will take place on Friday, July 30 when Candace Parker and the Los Angeles Sparks make their only regular season visit. The defending WNBA Champion Phoenix Mercury with WNBA MVP Diana Taurasi will invade The World’s Most Famous Arena on Saturday, August 14. The regular season will wrap in the Big Apple on Sunday, August 22 when the Liberty will host UConn alumna Ashja Jones and Eastern Conference rival, the Connecticut Sun.

New York is scheduled to be featured in two nationally televised games on ESPN2 next summer, that includes the July 20th game in Connecticut and the July 27th game versus San Antonio.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
