Florida women’s basketball’s senior guard Leilani Correa was picked by the Indiana Fever in the third round with the 27th pick in Monday night’s 2024 WNBA draft.
The selection made her the 20th Gator in program history to be selected in the WNBA draft and the first UF athlete since Kiara Smith was taken by the Connecticut Sun in 2022. She is also Florida’s third player in program history to be selected by the Indiana Fever, with the most recent being Ronni Williams in 2017.
Correa transferred to Florida from St. John’s in 2022 and played under head coach Kelly Rae Finley for two seasons. During her tenure in Gainesville, the Garden State product earned the 2024 SEC Sixth Woman of the Year award, led the conference in scoring with an average of 21.4 points a game and surpassed 2,000 career points.
Correa holds the highest amount of career points in Florida basketball history across both the men’s and women’s programs. She wrapped up her collegiate career with a combined 2,132 points, recording 1,272 at St. John’s and 860 at UF.
