This season -- and specifically this week, for two players -- multiple UConn alumnae reached WNBA statistical milestones.
Additional Notes and Tidbits:
- Diana Taurasi passed Tamika Catchings and is the all-time leader in WNBA history in terms of free throws made (2088 as of this post, on 87.0 shooting).
- Stefanie Dolson passed 2000 career points. She is the 5th player from the 2014 WNBA Draft class to score 2000 career points.
- Breanna Stewart reached 1000 career rebounds. She is the 2nd player from the 2016 WNBA Draft class to reach 1000 career rebounds. Stewart reached the 1000 mark in 116 games, the ninth-fastest in league history.
Additional Notes and Tidbits:
- After missing seven games due to an ankle injury and only playing 8 total games and 20 minutes per contest to date this year, Stef Dolson is averaging 8.0 points and 4.6 rebounds while shooting 54.5 percent from the floor and a career-best 52.6 percent from three (in her 8 games, she has hit 10-19 from beyond the arc.
- With her shooting 91.7 percent from the free throw line and making 6 free throws per game this year, Diana Taurasi has moved her all-time career free throw percentage to 87.0 percent. This percentage ranks 18th in WNBA career history, one spot ahead of Penny Taylor, Diana's wife.
- At Stewart's current average this year of 8.0 rebounds per contest, she will finish the regular season ranked 86th in total career rebounds, in only four seasons played. Ranked 85th is another former UConn great, Svetlana Abrosimova.
