Yvette Angel

Yvette Angel is a former basketball player and coach who played collegiately for the Ohio State Buckeyes, and professionally in the WNBA for the Sacramento Monarchs.

Career In high school, Angel played for the Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart women's team under coach Sister Maria Pares. The team was undefeated during Angel's career, having reached a 109-game winning streak.

Angel left the Buckeyes as its, at the time, third-leading women's scorer all time, and subsequently accepted a job as a graduate assistant coach with Michigan State University. Afterward, she was an assistant coach at Notre Dame. 1997 was also the inaugural year of the WNBA, as well as the year before the ABL folded.

Despite no Buckeyes being drafted in 1997, Angel was one of three Buckeyes to play in the WNBA in its 1997 inaugural season. In her only stint in the WNBA, she played five games in July 1997 with the Sacramento Monarchs, starting three. Her WNBA career highs included six points in her final game, against the Houston Comets on July 25, 1997; and five assists in her third game, on July 18, also against the Comets. Angel's playing career ended when the Monarchs reassigned her as an assistant coach after they had fired head coach Mary Murphy midseason. Two years later, Angel was inducted into the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame for her contributions as a player for the Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart basketball team.
