Villanova star Maddy Siegrist scored 35 points in the Wildcats' 76-59 first-round NCAA Tournament win over Cleveland State on Saturday to become the fifth Division I women's player to score 1,000 points in a season.
Siegrist's total sits at 1,019, which ranks fourth behind Washington's Kelsey Plum (1,109 in 2016-17), Missouri State's Jackie Stiles (1,062 in 2000-01) and Baylor's Odyssey Sims (1,054 in 2013-14). Siegrist passed Iowa's Megan Gustafson (1,001 in 2018-19) on Saturday.
"It's definitely something that I never even like thought about," Siegrist said. "I never even thought that was an achievable goal. So yeah, it means a lot. I'm really glad we won the game. It's better when you win when you get a milestone than when you lose and you get one."
Siegrist, a first-team All-American, made 15 of 28 shots in a game the Wildcats (29-6) led by as many as 32 points.
The Wildcats will face 12th-seeded Florida Gulf Coast (33-3) on Monday in the second round.
