The "in-between" summer sports season (post basketball/hockey, pre football) continues, and the WNBA is capitalizing with headline after headline. Some not so good. But some good. This is a blog celebrating sports, so let's look at a WNBA record set for three pointers in a game. Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride broke the WNBA single-game record with ten (10) 3-pointers in a win vs. the Dallas Wings. Overall 43 points in an eye popping 16-21 field goal effort. The 5'11" Guard has had a working-woman's career now in her 13th season at age 34. A decent scorer, good for 15 PPG scorer is enjoying a late career boom up at 18.4 PPG, good for 10th in the WNBA in scoring (no player higher than her is older) and 9th in 3PT FG% (42.4%). For pop culture reference, Caitlin Clark is at a pedestrian 35.5% 3PT FG%. The WNBA needs to celebrate those who are setting records and Kayla McBride is that player. the Longhorndave Sportswoman of the Week!
