Maddy Siegrist is one of the most prolific scorers in recent NCAA history, surpassing icons like Iowa's Caitlin Clark.
She had over 1,080 points in her senior season alone and is the current Villanova record holder on both the men's and women's sides with a career total of 2,896 points. She beat out the last record holder, Shelly Pennefather, by a whopping 487 points.
Now, with her name in the hat for the 2023 WNBA Draft, she has the ability to bring her fiery offensive talents to the big leagues. ESPN is projecting her as the No. 3 overall pick to the Dallas Wings based on speculation of nerves that, if they wait, she'll be snatched by another franchise from under their nose.
The Sporting News took a look into her four-year career at Villanova and exactly just how much net she managed to hit.

Who is Maddy Siegrist?
During the 2022-23 season with Villanova, Siegrist led all-players in points scored, with an average of 29.2 per game. In the postseason, she only played in three tournament games, as the Wildcats were booted in the Sweet 16 by Miami (FL), and still, she managed to bring home 97 total points.
