Basketball career
As a rookie with the San Antonio Silver Stars in 2004, Stevenson's best performance came on July 1 in Seattle, when she scored a season-high nine points in only 18 minutes.{{Cite web|url=http://www.wnba.com/archive/wnba/storm/news/Silver_Stars_Still_Struggling-113106-221.html|title=STORM: Silver Stars Still Struggling|website=www.wnba.com|access-date=2017-08-30}} A free agent after the season, Stevenson signed with the Seattle Storm on April 21. Stevenson appeared in four games for the Storm, tallying six points and grabbing six rebounds in 53 minutes of action, before being placed on the Injured List with lower back pain on June 6. Stevenson was the surprise Opening Day starter at small forward, scoring two points and grabbing four rebounds. Stevenson subsequently returned to the bench as a backup post, but lost playing time when Suzy Batkovic joined the team. Despite Anne Donovan's glowing praise of her she was waived on July 6, 2005.
On March 21, 2007, the Phoenix Mercury announced they had added Stevenson to the team's training camp roster.
