Congratulations to UK Hoops and UK Hoops player All-American Victoria Dunlap who was the 11th overall selection in the 2011 WNBA Draft by the Washington Mystics in the first round on Monday. Dunlap is UK's No. 2 all-time leading scorer and rebounder, she is the highest draft pick in school history. The previous high was the 53rd pick in the third round of the 2000 WNBA Draft. Earlier Dunlap was named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year by The Associated Press and SEC Defensive Player of the Year by the league coaches as one of the nation's most versatile players.
UK Hoops Coach Matthew Mitchell comments:
"We are just so proud for Victoria," UK Hoops Coach Matthew Mitchell said. "She's worked extremely hard and to be a first-round draft choice is a testament to how hard she's worked and improved during her time at Kentucky. We are proud of her. It's also a special day for our program. To have the first, first- round draft in school history is special. It's been an incredible day."
