Washington legend Kelsey Plum's No. 10 became the program's first women's jersey to be retired Saturday.
At halftime of its game against Purdue on Saturday, Washington sent its first women's jersey to the rafters, retiring the No. 10 that Plum wore for four years as she rewrote the school and NCAA record books.
Plum came to Seattle in 2013 and made an immediate impact, setting the program's single-season scoring record as a freshman. The Aces' Kelsey Plum, shown here at her jersey retirement ceremony Saturday, starred at Washington from 2013-17 and held the NCAA career scoring record until it was broken by Caitlin Clark last season. She broke her single-season mark each of the next three years and eclipsed Jackie Stiles' career record with a 57-point performance Feb. 25, 2017, that still stands as the UW single-game record.
Plum was picked first overall in the 2017 WNBA draft and has won two WNBA championships with the Las Vegas Aces, along with two Olympic gold medals. Last week, the Aces put a core designation on the impending free agent, bolstering rumors that she might be traded before the upcoming season.
