Daily News | Maddy Siegrist continues making history as she becomes the Big East all-time leading scorer
on Saturday afternoon at the Finneran Pavilion. Siegrist’s 50 points came on a highly efficient shooting performance as the senior finished 20-of-26 from the field. Junior Maddie Burke was the only other Wildcat in double figures with 12 points.
The senior also added 10 rebounds for her 50th career double-double. Siegrist became just the second player in Villanova women’s basketball history to eclipse 1,000 career rebounds. Shelly Pennefather holds the record for career rebounds with 1,171, and Siegrist is 166 behind her with 1,005.. With 22 first-half points, there was a sense that it could be a big day for the star forward.
“It’s so much fun to see the atmosphere,” Siegrist said. “It helps everybody play like that, to the best of your ability. It feels great.”With a jumper at the 7:23 mark, Siegrist reached 44 points, passing her previous career high of 42 that she set last year at home against Marquette. On the next possession, she scored on a fast-break layup to reach 46 points and break each of the Villanova, Big East, and Big 5 single-game records.
The success and national attention that Siegrist continues to draw only increases Villanova’s momentum as it approaches the end of the regular season.
