WNBA Star Kelsey Plum's Number Retired by Alma Mater Washington

It was always a matter of when — not if — the University of Washington would retire Kelsey Plum’s number. Eight years after she graduated, it happened.

At halftime of its game against Purdue on Saturday, Washington sent its first women’s jersey to the rafters, retiring the No. 10 that the La Jolla Country Day alum wore for four years as she rewrote the school — and NCAA — record books.

“It just brings back so many memories,” Plum, 30, said. “I really feel so blessed to share this moment with my family. Life happens so fast. It feels like two weeks ago I was a senior here.”

Plum came to Seattle in 2014 and made an immediate impact, setting the program single-season scoring record as a freshman.
