NCAA Women’s Basketball Record Breaker
Congratulations to Kelsey Plum ’13, the all-time scoring leader in NCAA women’s basketball history with 3,397 points! After scoring 57-points while leading the University of Washington over the University of Utah on Saturday, February 25, Plum surpassed former Southwest Missouri State standout Jackie Stiles on the career scoring list. What made it even more special was that she broke the record with her family and LJCDS coach Terri Bamford by her side and as the school celebrated Senior Day. Below is the story from the Union-Tribune.
Mykonos Greek Grill is a neighborhood restaurant on the edge of Green Lake, just to the northwest of the University of Washington campus in Seattle. The place is small enough that when 20 people decked out in Huskies purple came through the door Saturday night, the waiters had to push tables together to accommodate the group.
The Plum family and their friends hadn’t come to party, but just relax and spend time together, and Mykonos served that up.
No one seemed to make a fuss about the presence among them of the serene brunette, who just a couple hours earlier had become women’s college basketball’s all-time Division I scorer with an incredible 57-point performance in a victory over Utah.
Kelsey Plum wanted to catch up with her younger brother Dan, and her newly married oldest sister, Caitlyn. If basketball came up, Terri Bamford, Plum’s high school coach at La Jolla Country Day, doesn’t remember much about what was said. “I think,” Bamford would recall Sunday afternoon, “she was just relieved that it was all over.”
Bamford and her assistant coach, Berry Randle, got to witness history by the luck of the draw. They were disappointed thinking they’d have to miss Washington’s regular-season finale and Senior Night because LJCD would begin the CIF-San Diego Section playoffs Saturday.
