On the anniversary of the WNBA’s first ever game, in a game featuring those same first two teams, it’s Nneka Ogwumike - the WNBA’s Player’s Association President playing a vital role for each of the last two CBAs - who drains the buzzer-beater!!
How fitting. How awesome.
Ray is the first player from Florida to be drafted to the PWHL, per RMNB.
Meanwhile for New York, it’s the 3rd straight year they have drafted the most recent Yale captain.
#Yale
4 Yale Bulldogs were selected in the Professional Women’s Hockey League draft last night!
Jordan Ray: Pick 23 - Ottawa Charge (2nd Rd)
Carina DiAntonio: Pick 31 - New York Sirens (3rd Rd)
Gracie Gilkyson: Pick 50 - Seattle Torrent (5th Rd)
Naomi Boucher: Pick 67 - NY Sirens (R6)
What a night for Sydney Taylor!
+ Makes her 1st career WNBA start
+ Scores a game-high 24 points on 10-16 FG (4-7 3PT)
+ Hits go-ahead 3 with 15.6 secs left
+ Plays great defense on Breanna Stewart in clutch time
+ Doesn’t hit final shot for the win

@a_g_haubner Jeff Walz should absolutely be smiling but don’t forget that she developed at the University of Massachusetts for four years and was a bonafide scorer there too.
@SweetLouuuuu Yale Athletic teams only have one captain per team each season. New York has now drafted each of the last three Yale Women’s Ice Hockey captains
Sabrina Ionescu responds with a go-ahead layup to put the Liberty back in front of the Sky.
Then in the game’s final seconds, Syd’s fadeaway jumper for the win doesn’t fall at the buzzer and the Sky lose by 1 point.
Tough finish to an outstanding night for Sydney Taylor!
Going to commercial before the Stanley Cup trophy presentation strikes me as crazy.
Looking forward to ESPN’s hockey broadcasts hopefully improving over the next few years
