Former Oregon Duck Sabrina Ionescu wins WNBA 3-point Contest
On Friday night, former Oregon Ducks standout point guard Sabrina Ionescu added yet another impressive accomplishment to her resume, winning her second WNBA 3-point contest.
Sporting her New York Liberty jersey, Ionescu scored 30 out of a possible 40 points in the second round, defeating reigning champion Allisha Gray, who scored 22.
Ionesco's 30 points tied her with Allie Quigley for the second-most in the contest's history. Ionescu owns the record with an unthinkable 37 points, set in 2023.
Prior to her six seasons with the New York Liberty in the WNBA, Ionescu was one of the top players in the nation when she donned the Oregon Ducks uniform from 2016-2020.
She racked up the accolades, winning the Naismith Trophy in 2020 and the Wooden and Wade Awards in 2019 and 2020. She was also the Pac-12 Player of the Year in each of her sophomore, junior and senior seasons and was named the Pac-12 Tournament's Most Outstanding Player in both 2018 and 2020.
It's safe to say that Ionescu left her mark at Oregon, leaving as arguably the most accomplished Duck women's basketball player of all-time and becoming a beloved figure in Eugene.
Now in the WNBA, she continues to excel on the national stage.
