Former Maryland women’s basketball star Alyssa Thomas finished her outstanding 2022 WNBA campaign on a dominant note, recording back-to-back triple-doubles in the WNBA Finals for the Connecticut Sun against the Las Vegas Aces.

In game three of the series, Thomas made history with the first triple-double in WNBA Finals history, recording 15 rebounds — 12 on the defensive end — 11 assists and 16 points. In 34 minutes, she went 8-of-14 from the field and willed her team to victory, staving off elimination and forcing a game four.

Just three nights later, Thomas followed up her historic performance with another triple-double in game four.
