Sonia Citron off to WNBA after historic Notre Dame career

Citron is the only player in Notre Dame history to with 1,700 points, 700 rebounds and 300 assists. Additionally, her 1,774 points are the 11th-most in program history. Ahead of the WNBA Draft, The Athletic‘s Sabreena Merchant provided an in-depth analysis of Citron’s game.

“Even if Citron isn’t an All-Star in the WNBA, it’s hard not to like everything she brings to the table,” Merchant wrote. “Citron is a capable shooter and secondary player. She routinely takes the best perimeter assignment and has been particularly good against wings like [Paige] Bueckers and JuJu Watkins.

“She makes good decisions on both ends and reads the floor well. With all the talent on Notre Dame’s roster in 2024-25, it was Citron who had the best on-off differential; the Irish were 8.6 points per 100 possessions better with her on the court… Every front office wants a player like her on the roster.”

Citron is certainly a winner. In Citron’s four years at Notre Dame, the Fighting Irish posted a 107-28 record, won the ACC regular season title twice and won the conference tournament once. She helped the Fighting Irish reach the Sweet Sixteen in each of her four years with the program.
