WASHINGTON - Two former Georgetown University women's basketball stars made an impact in the 2015 WNBA playoffs with Rebekkah Brunson winning her fourth WNBA Championship with the Minnesota Lynx on Wednesday evening. Additionally, Sugar Rodgers helped her squad to the Eastern Conference Finals with three double-digit performances along the way.

On Wednesday, Brunson and the Minnesota Lynx won the team's third title in five years with a 69-52 victory over the Indiana Fever to clinch game five and the championship. Brunson started and was the squad's third-leading scorer in the championship game with 10 points and a team-high 14 boards. This season, Brunson started all 34 regular-season games for the Lynx and averaged 7.8 ppg as well as averaging 8.1 rpg.

Brunson was Georgetown's first women's basketball All-American graduating in 2004. She was also the second WNBA draft pick in program history picked 10th overall in the 2004 draft by the Sacramento Monarchs.

At Georgetown, Brunson became the program's leading rebounder (1,093) and holds the record for rebounds in a season with 336 in 2004. She was a four-time All-BIG EAST honoree and the 2004 BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year.

In her professional career, Brunson has played with teams in Spain, Italy, Russia and Belgium. She has been a two-time EuroLeague All-Star and her Russian team won the 2007 FIBA Women's EuroCup.

Brunson was a part of the United States National Team pool and won a gold medal with the U.S. squad in the FIBA Americas Tournament which qualified the squad for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She also won a silver medal with the national team at the 2003 USA Pan American Games.

In the WNBA, she won a league championship in 2005 with the Monarchs as well as three with the Lynx. Additionally, she has been a three-time All-Star and named Second Team All-Defense on four occasions along with a nod to the first team in 2011. With the Lynx, Brunson holds every rebounding record in the organization's history.

Brunson supports The 32 Foundation which she started to help at-risk teens in the Washington, D.C., area stay out of trouble and overcome obstacles in a place that could limit their growth or achievement.

Rodgers has made a name for herself in her second season with the New York Liberty. She closed out the regular season strong and carried that momentum into the playoffs, scoring double figures in 3-of-6 postseason games, which included a 20-point performance in the series-clinching win over the Mystics.

The Liberty's leading 3-point shooter, Rodgers knocked down 41 treys, shooting 32.0 percent from long distance. She turned her additional 2.1 minutes per game into 2.1 more points per game and was third on New York in scoring.

Rodgers is the most decorated player in Georgetown women's basketball history with unprecedented accomplishments. She was a three-time Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American and a four-time First Team All-BIG EAST honoree.

She was the only player in Georgetown history to earn First Team All-BIG EAST four times in her career and one of just two to be named All-BIG EAST all four years. Brunson was a two-time honorable mention honoree as a freshman and sophomore before being named to the first team as a junior and senior.

Rodgers is the all-time leading scorer with 2,518 points to her credit, making her the first women's player to surpass the 2,000-point mark as well as the first player in Georgetown history to go over 2,500 points, and the career leader in 3-pointers (346) and also holds the single-season record for points (711 in 2012-13).

Despite her scoring prowess she was not one dimensional, holding the all-time steals record (326) as well as ranking 21st in blocks (43) and eighth in rebounds (674). The shooting guard was a stalwart for the Blue & Gray appearing in 130 games with 129 starts including 104 consecutively.

Brunson and Rodgers are the only two women's players with their jerseys hanging on the McDonough Arena jersey wall.
