Former UWM women's basketball player Lindsay Laur has spent the past few months playing professionally for the Carolina Giants in Puerto Rico.
She ended up playing a very key role for the team this year, earning a starting spot and finishing the season as the team's leading scorer. Laur posted some impressive statistics during the regular season. She went 120-for-227 (.529) from the floor, 14-for-41 (.341) from three-point range and 73-for-84 (.869) from the free throw line. Her 355 points and 168 rebounds were easily the highest total on the squad (second was 198 points/109 rebounds), averaging 16.9 points and 8.0 rebounds per contest.
In addition, she recorded 58 assists and 29 steals.
Last night, she was the hero for the Giants, hitting the game-winning shot with under 10 seconds left to send her team to a 79-78 win and a 3-to-2 series victory in the semifinals and on to the championship round. She finished the game with 24 points.
