The UCLA Bruins had themselves a night on Monday. UCLA saw six players get drafted. Charlisse Leger-Walker was taken 18th by the Connecticut Sun.
History was made on draft night by the UCLA Bruins . For the first time in WNBA Draft history, a school had six players selected . UCLA accomplished the feat when Charlisse Leger-Walker was taken in the second round by the Connecticut Sun.
Cori Close and UCLA saw five Bruins selected in the first round , setting a new record, before Leger-Walker went off the board with the 18th overall selection. Leger-Walker spent two years with UCLA but was only on the court for the Bruins this past season. History.
Made. Here. With 6️⃣ Bruins selected tonight, UCLA has set a new @WNBA record for most draft picks from a single institution!
