Furthermore, Megan McConnell’s former university proudly heralded the news of her signing with the Phoenix Mercury. And shared a few of her school accomplishments and accolades. Duquesne states,
“Former Duquesne women’s basketball guard Megan McConnell has officially signed a contract with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury, the team announced on Tuesday.
A native of Pittsburgh, Pa., McConnell becomes only the third player in program history to make an active WNBA roster, joining the ranks of Korie Hlede (1998) and Candace Futrell (2004). The 5’7 guard also joins a rare group, becoming just one of three active sister-brother duos in the NBA and WNBA, alongside her brother, TJ McConnell, a guard for the Indiana Pacers.
Over her time on the Bluff, she became the program’s all-time leader in assists (660) and steals (370), while finishing second in career scoring with 1,795 points. She also set school records for games played (144), career starts (136), and triple-doubles (4). Despite standing just 5-foot-7, she proved to be a dominant presence on the boards, collecting 1,079 career rebounds, the second-most in program history, and averaging 7.5 rebounds per game, good for 10th all-time. A consistent perimeter threat, she knocked down 209 three-pointers, ranking sixth at Duquesne, while her 4.6 assists per game average stands as the seventh-best mark in school history.”
Nice. The Phoenix Mercury have a great addition to their roster. Moreover, the Mercury are off to their best start since 2014, opening the season with a 5-2 record. They hope to stay hot in pursuit of the Commissioner’s Cup and a chance at hoisting the WNBA Championship trophy.
