Daughter of Duke basketball legend gets selected in Top-5 of WNBA Draft

There was a celebration in the Alarie household in New Jersey on Friday night as Mark Alarie's daughter, Bella, was selected in the Top-5 of the WNBA Draft.

Mark Alarie, the former Duke basketball legend, made his own name in college and in the professional ranks, and now his daughter is about to do the same.

Bella Alarie, the Princeton star, is a three-time Ivy League Player of the Year and is now headed to Dallas as the Wings selected her with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft.

Alarie was also the first-ever Ivy League women's basketball player to be named as an Associated Press All-American twice in her college career after averaging 17.
