One of the Splash Sisters isn’t done raining 3-pointers just yet.
Senior guard Taylor Pierce was selected to participate in the Women’s 3-Point Championship for the 31st annual State Farm College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championship per an Intersport report. The event will take place Thursday April 4 in the Target Center in Minneapolis.
Pierce earned her invitation to the event after putting together one of the best shooting seasons in history. She set the NCAA single-season record for 3-pointers in a season with 154, and her final average of 4.53 makes per game is the best mark in the nation. As an All-Big Sky First Team selection, Pierce also finished her career with 472 made 3-pointers in her career, most in program and Big Sky history and tied for second-most in NCAA history.
The Women’s 3-Point Championship will feature eight of the nation’s best shooters as one of the many events leading up to the men’s and women’s Final Fours. The event will be televised live at 6 p.m. on ESPN.
