Minnesota native Rachel Banham scored 3,093 points in her college career at the University of Minnesota, leaving the college game as the No. 1 scorer in Big Ten history and sixth in NCAA history. She was the 2016 Big Ten Player of the Year and made 354 threes during her career, a program record. She is arguably most known for her then-NCAA record 60-point performance against Northwestern in 2016, a year that ended with her earning a First Team All-American nod.
After her college career, Rachel was selected fourth overall by the Connecticut Sun in the 2016 WNBA Draft and was traded to the Minnesota Lynx in 2020. She most recently just completed her ninth season in the WNBA and will continue her playing career in professional basketball alongside her role with the University of Minnesota.
