Tully Bevilaqua was there at the beginning of the WNBA nearly 30 years ago. The former point guard played for five teams — including the Portland Fire from 2000-02, where she remains the franchise’s all-time assists leader.

Bevilaqua later joined the Indiana Fever from 2005-10 and now serves as the team’s advance scout and video coordinator.

With the Portland Fire returning as one of the WNBA’s expansion franchises in 2026, Bevilaqua reflected on her time in Portland and shared her perspective on the league’s remarkable growth ahead of the Fire’s visit to Indianapolis.
