The Tulsa Shock is proud to
announce the drafting of Notre Dame Women’s basketball star Skylar
Diggins.
Diggins played the guard position for four Notre Dame Fighting
Irish Seasons (2009-2012) and was recently drafted to the WNBA team, the Tulsa Shock. She is
the all-time scoring leader for Notre Dame and is a 3-time all-American who
averaged 17.1 points per game in the 2012-2013 season.
Diggins was born in South Bend,
Indiana and attended Washington High School leading the Panthers to four
consecutive state championship games as their starting guard. Coming out of
High School, Diggins was a McDonald’s All-American and chose to attend
Notre Dame and play for the Fighting Irish. She set numerous records for the
team and received many prominent awards, including the Big East player of
the year award for the 2011-2012 season. Diggins was the third pick in the WNBA
draft for the Tulsa Shock and will begin her first season with the team May 25th.
Many Tulsans have expressed their
excitement for the drafting of such a famous college basketball player and have already
purchased season tickets. A few University of Tulsa students also expressed
their excitement for the new addition to the Tulsa Shock team.
The University of Tulsa Men's Basketball also expressed their excitement for Skylar's arrival by making a Vine app video: https://vine.co/v/bFjggMeeq7A/embed
