Four games into her WNBA career, Rhyne Howard has already whipped out a pen and inked her name into the league’s record books.
On Sunday afternoon, the Atlanta Dream guard scored more points in the first quarter than any rookie in WNBA history at 17. Howard scored just three fewer points than the entire Indiana Fever did as a team (20) in the opening period. Her 17 first-quarter points were also the second-most in franchise history and third-most in league history.
But she wasn’t done there…
Howard finished her night with 33 points, the most by any player in the WNBA so far this season, as the Dream snuck out of Indianapolis with an 85-79 victory.
