The 2026 WNBA season continues to be a standout one for Notre Dame women's basketball alumnae, as Minnesota Lynx guard Kayla McBride set a new league record Sunday, Aug. 9 for single-game 3-pointers with 10 in a 103-90 win against the Dallas Wings. The victory also helped the 27-7 Lynx become the first WNBA team to clinch a playoff spot this season.
McBride's barrage from beyond the arc moved her atop the leaderboard beyond a trio of fellow former Irish standouts in Toronto Tempo guard Marina Mabrey, Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale and Las Vegas Aces guard Jewell Loyd — as well as Aces guard Chelsea Gray, Atlanta Dream guard Rhyne Howard and Indiana Fever guard Kelsey Mitchell — who are all tied for the previous record of nine 3-pointers in a game.

Mabrey joined that club earlier this season during her WNBA record-tying 53-point game in June.
McBride's electric performance also gave her a new career high with 43 points, which places her tied with five others for 18th all-time for single-game scoring performances. McBride's previous season high in scoring was 37 points against the Phoenix Mercury in July, and her best 3-point scoring outburst this season was six, which happened in that same game against Phoenix then against the Seattle Storm just a week later.
