Every basketball player dreams of hearing their name called and making the draft day walk on stage, but no matter how many times they dream about it or think about it, it still feels surreal.
It’s been the theme of Maddy Siegrist’s career. With each passing year she found a new way to raise the bar and shatter expectations, plus program and Big East records, too.
Siegrist became the highest-drafted Wildcat in women’s basketball history and only the second in program history — first since Trish Juhline was selected 32nd overall in the third round of the 2003 WNBA Draft — when she was selected third overall by the Dallas Wings in the 2023 WNBA Draft.
