Maddy Siegrist had lit up scoreboards and carried the ‘Cats all throughout her career, so entering this season it wasn’t a matter of if she would break the record, but rather, when she was going to become Villanova’s all-time leading scorer.
That moment finally came on Friday night, as she dropped a game-high 23 points in the Lady ‘Cats 73-57 victory over Creighton in Omaha.
She needed just 18 points to surpass 1987 graduate Shelly Pennefather’s mark of 2,408 points, and she comfortably cleared the mark on the road. Siegrist now has 2,414 career points and counting.
