She’ll make her debut in the booth on Sept. 6, alongside Cameron Cleeland, and a sideline reporter to be named laterThis is such an honor and a dream come true. Woodward spent 16 seasons narrating Seattle Storm basketball alongside Dick Fain before she left this spring for the expansion Portland Fire, where she became the franchise’s inaugural play-by-play voice ahead of its May debut. Woodward is currently booked as the lead play-by-play voice for all three broadcasts, spanning two states and two sports inside a single 72-hour window.
