It’s a big new chapter for Sonia Citron

Sonia Citron is now in a new chapter in her life after an impressive stay at Notre Dame. Through her time there, Citron averaged 14.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

She is the first player in Notre Dame’s history to record 1700 points, 700 rebounds and 300 assists. Her best was two years ago, when she averaged 17.3 ppg, 5.5 rpg and 2.7 apg for the Fighting Irish.

Over the last four years, Citron has proven to be an efficient scorer and that will be a useful talent for the Mystics.

She can also be clutch when the occasion demands. Citron will look to improve on her game and help the Washington Mystics do well next season. And from the way Mystics stars jumped on her post, she will get enough support.

Meanwhile, the remaining players at Notre Dame, like Hannah Hidalgo, will look to improve on their games to ensure that Citron is not missed.
