 Nebraska's Lindsey Moore is one of 12 collegiate women's basketball players invited to attend the WNBA Draft presented by State Farm at the ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn.

Moore, a 5-9 senior point guard from Covington, Wash., received her official invitation from the WNBA Thursday to attend the league's 2013 draft, which will be televised live by ESPN2 on Monday, April 15, at 7 p.m.

Moore will join 2013 collegians Brittney Griner (Baylor), Elena Delle Donne (Delaware), Skylar Diggins (Notre Dame), Alex Bentley (Penn State), Kelsey Bone (Texas A&M), Layshia Clarendon (California), Kelly Faris (Connecticut), Tianna Hawkins (Maryland), Tayler Hill (Ohio State), Sugar Rodgers (Georgetown) and Toni Young (Oklahoma State) in attendance at the draft.

Moore becomes the second Husker in the past four years to be invited to the WNBA Draft as a potential first-round pick, joining former NU All-American forward Kelsey Griffin (2010). Griffin was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2010 draft by the Minnesota Lynx, before being traded minutes later to the Connecticut Sun. Griffin earned WNBA All-Rookie honors for the Sun in 2010 and enters her fourth season on the Sun roster in 2013.
