Tonight was the 2022 WNBA Draft. Less than one week since the NCAA denied her request to come back to the Notre Dame Women’s Basketball team for another season, Maya Dodson finds herself drafted in the WNBA anyway. She was just drafted 26th Overall to the Phoenix Mercury. She was picked in the high Third Round as there are 12 picks per round.
Dodson joins former Notre Dame players/legends Skylar Diggins-Smith and Brianna Turner who also currently play for the Mercury. Maya joined the Irish for this past 2021-22 season as a graduate transfer from Stanford.
