Sabrina Ionescu made NCAA basketball history Monday night.
The Oregon Ducks senior guard became the first Division I player, man or woman, to amass 2,000 points, 1,000 assists, and 1,000 career rebounds when she pulled down her ninth rebound of the game in a 74-66 win over Stanford on Monday at Maples Pavilion.
With just under two minutes left in the third quarter and the Ducks up 53-35, Ionescu grabbed a Stanford airball and etched her name in the history books.
HISTORY!! 🐐👑

Ionescu spoke earlier Monday at Kobe Bryant's memorial service, and she was the only active player to speak during his "Celebration of Life." Bryant was Ionescu's mentor, and Curry tweeted that Ionescu's record-breaking night was the perfect tribute to the Los Angeles Lakers legend.

The presumptive No. 1 pick in the 2020 WNBA Draft added to an NCAA record she already owned, too, picking up her 26th career triple-double. Ionescu scored 21 points, dished out 12 assists and grabbed 12 rebounds as the Ducks clinched a share of the Pac-12 regular-season title.
