Following a terrific career in Tucson, Arizona Women’s Basketball standout forward Dominique McBryde will sign with the Los Angeles Sparks.

Arizona Women’s Basketball is trending upwards. Just a few years removed from some pretty miserable seasons, and the Wildcats may soon have a few players in the WNBA, one of those being Dominique McBryde.

As you may recall, McBryde came here just a few seasons ago as a transfer from Purdue, and since then, she has done some fantastic things.

Appearing in 61 games, 58 that she started in, McBryde finished her career in Tucson with 429 points (7.0 avg), 260 rebounds (4.3 avg), 81 steals (1.3 avg) and 43 blocks (0.7 avg)!

She was a big part of Arizona’s success, especially as the team went a combined 48-20 (19-17) over that last two seasons, including an NIT Championship, a fourth place finish in the Pac-12 and a would have been NCAA Tournament (*cancelled due to Corona Virus).

Her accolades speak volumes, even though she may have been overshadowed by Aari McDonald and others at times.

Even though she didn’t get to ultimately compete in the 2020 NCAA Tournament, luckily for her, her basketball career isn’t over yet, as Dominique will now get a chance to possibly compete at the next level.

On Saturday following the WNBA Draft, it was announced that she will get her chance as Dominique signed a Training Camp contract with the Los Angeles Sparks. There she will get the opportunity to compete and earn a spot on the roster!

Her work will be cut out for her, but if anyone can battle and show her skill, it’s Dominique! And we know she’ll be ready!

After getting signed, Dominique took to social media to say it’s “A dream come true… I can’t wait to get to work!”
