She first played at Madison Square Garden as a preteen. Her 113 points in a high school game—during Murry Bergtraum’s string of 14 consecutive PSAL titles—broke Hall of Famer Cheryl Miller’s record. She was a valuable offensive presence for the New York Liberty from 2015–18 and returned last year as called upon to help the Liberty make it to the WNBA Finals.
Those would be her last games as a professional baller, but her association with the Liberty continues as she steps into her new role as director of player and community engagement. Prince said she knew the time to retire from playing was at hand when instead of delighting in her career, she started complaining about it. Being based in Brooklyn and settling into her new role is exciting.
Prince is eager to dive into local grassroots basketball. During her time playing with different WNBA teams and overseas, she would hear about grassroots basketball in NYC. “Now, I’m happy to be hands-on, trying to address the needs,” she said.
