Mabrey sets an assist record in FIBA Americas U-18 rout

Notre Dame-bound Michaela Mabrey highlighted a 99-26 U-18 National Team rout of the Dominican Republic by handing out 10 assists on the opening day of the FIBA Americas U18 Championship in Puerto Rico.

“I wasn’t really hitting any shots, so when that happens I look to pass. I’m more of a pass-first person,” said Mabrey, who also had nine points and four blocks. Her double-digit assist total breaks the previous USA record of nine set by Candace Parker in 2004 and equaled by Khadijah Rushdan in 2006.
