Chen '24 Signs With Golden State Valkyries
June 13, 2025 | Women's Basketball
PRINCETON – Kaitlyn Chen '24 has signed with the Golden State Valkyries, the team has announced.
Chen is coming off her graduate season with the Connecticut Huskies who won the National Championship. She started all 40 games for the Huskies and finished her season with 6.9 points, 3.4 assists and 1.8 rebounds per game. Her signature moment came in the Elite Eight against USC where she produced 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting.
A three-time Ivy League Tournament Most Outstanding Player, Chen was the gold standard during the best stretch in Princeton Women's Basketball history.
In just three playing seasons, Chen led the Tigers to three Ivy League titles, three Ivy League Tournament crowns and three NCAA Tournament appearances. The former captain helped the Tigers become the first Ivy League women's team to win NCAA Tournament games in back-to-back seasons.
The two-time unanimous First-Team All-Ivy selection and 2023 Ivy Player of the Year has amassed a 74-16 mark during her time at Princeton, including three Top-25 victories. The true definition of a student-athlete, Chen was named a College Sports Communicators Second Team Academic All-American as a senior, the program's first since 2016, after finishing her Tiger career with 1,276 points and 359 assists.
The Valkyries take on the Dallas Wings Tuesday at 8:30 p.m.
