Mercury's Whitcomb Shoots Lights Out In College

Sami Whitcomb played a significant role in the Phoenix Mercury's success this season. She played 43 games, and she started in 20. She filled in for Kahleah Copper at different points of the season, as Copper missed the start of the season due to a knee injury, and she dealt with a hamstring injury later on. Whitcomb played well in those games, and in one of those games, she had her career high. The veteran sharpshooter had 36 points in that game, and she made seven 3-pointers. The two-time champion was on fire, and throughout her career, she has knocked down her share of shots. Her college years were no exception, as she put on a shooting clinic in some of those games. The most 3-pointers Whitcomb made in a college game was six, and she did it against Oregon. She finished that game with 28 points, and she also had five rebounds, three steals and an assist. Whitcomb and Washington won that game, as they beat Oregon 69-43. Phoenix's veteran was the leading scorer, and Washington had one other player who scored
