There must be something in the water at Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California. When Katie Lou Samuelson, an alumna of the school, hit her third three of the game against Seton Hall, she moved into second place on UConn’s all-time made 3-pointers list. Samuelson is now just 78 threes behind the Huskies’ all-time leader, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, who also went to Mater Dei.
As for who Samuelson passed to get to second place? That would be Diana Taurasi, who grew up roughly 45 minutes away from Mater Dei in Chino, California.
