The Rutgers women’s basketball team's season has yet to start, but the WNBA playoffs included four Scarlet Knight alumni these past couple weeks competing for the championship.
A single-elimination game started off the first playoff round with two former Rutgers players going head-to-head. One of them was guard Essence Carson, playing with seventh-seeded Connecticut.
Alumna guard Kahleah Copper and her team, sixth-seeded Chicago, were the opponent. The game ended with a 94-81 final score, giving the Sun a win.
Former Knight center Kia Vaughn and fifth-seeded Phoenix lost against fourth-seeded Minnesota by 1 point in the second playoff round.
