Sabrina Ionescu marked her return to collegiate territory in Eugene with a standout performance, scoring 25 points and leading the New York Liberty to an 84-61 victory over the Toyota Antelopes in their preseason finale. Ionescu dazzled fans with her shooting skills, showcasing her long-range capabilities with a series of impressive 3-pointers. Celebrated by the fans and recognized with 'Sabrina Ionescu Day,' her performance sets the stage for the upcoming WNBA season as she looks to defend her title with the Liberty against the rival Las Vegas Aces.
"It's great to be back home," Ionescu told the crowd prior to tip-off.
'So it's great to come back where it all started,' Liberty coach Sandy Brondello said.
Ionescu, who won a pair of Wooden Awards and finished as the NCAA's all-time leader in triple-doubles, dazzled the home faithful.
Her 29-footer midway through the fourth quarter gave New York a 73-54 cushion and forced the Antelopes to take a time out.
