(ABC 6 News) — Fans at Tavern 22 in Rochester watched through the WNBA to see if Alyssa Ustby would join Paige Bueckers as a fellow Minnesota drafted.
However, unlike Bueckers, the former Lourdes Eagle’s name was never called, but in speaking to Alyssa’s father, Todd, he feels that his daughter still has a chance at undrafted workouts.
“We’re very proud because she had a great career at UNC and we’re very proud,” Todd said. “And anything extra than this, than the five years of college is a bonus. So, if she wants to pursue this and keep living her dream, I think she will. And someday you’ll see her with a WNBA jersey on.”
Ustby was a three-time All-State selection with Lourdes before finishing her North Carolina career as a 4x All-ACC selection and UNC’s all-time leader in rebounds.
