NEW YORK (AP) — Indiana's Katie Lou Samuelson says life as first-time mom got a littler easier with the WNBA’s announcement that players will fly on charter flights for road games. The announcement addressed security concerns among other issues, but was an early Mother’s Day gift for the Fever wing and about a dozen other players across the league with children. “It's going to be a lot easier traveling with a nine-month old on a charter than it would be commercially,” Samuelson, who gave birth to her daughter, Aliya Renea Cannady, on Aug. 4., said in a phone interview with The Associated Press.
