Arike Ogunbowale is now the all-time leading scorer for the WNBA’s Dallas Wings. The Notre Dame alum has 3,972 points after scoring 11 against the New York Liberty in a 99-67 loss Thursday night.
She’s in just her sixth season in the league and reached the mark in game number 193. She passes Deanna “Tweety” Nolan, who needed nine years and 293 games to reach 3,971. Ogunbowale, a guard who played at Notre Dame from 2015 to 2019, got the record on free throws with 4:27 remaining in Thursday’s game.
She needs just 28 points to reach 4,000, and if she does that in her next two games, she will pass Breanna Stewart to be the WNBA player who reaches that mark the fastest.
Stewart needed 196 games to hit that mark.
