The Washington Mystics have dealt Canadian forward Aaliyah Edwards to the Connecticut Sun, the WNBA team announced Thursday.

The Mystics received guard Jacy Sheldon. The teams also swapped first-round draft picks, with Washington getting Connecticut's 14th overall pick (originally New York) in exchange for the 15th pick (originally Minnesota).

The move returns Edwards, from Kingston, Ont., to the state where she enjoyed a standout college career with the University of Connecticut.

The six-foot-three forward was a two-time all-American with UConn, finishing out her senior season with career highs of 17.6 points and 9.2 rebounds per game.
