NEW YORK – Baylor’s Aaronette Vonleh was selected by the Dallas Wings in the third round as the 31st overall pick during Monday’s WNBA Draft at The Shed in New York City’s Hudson Yards.
Coming off a Second Team All-Big 12 season in her lone campaign in Waco, Vonleh was the leading scorer for BU with 538 points, enough for 14.9 per game, shooting a team-high 58.5%. The Oregon native averaged 5.8 rebounds off the rim and was named to the Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship All-Tournament Team for a stellar performance in Kansas City, putting up 23 points per game throughout the bracket, including a career-high 37 against No. 21 Oklahoma State to send BU to its 16th finals appearance.
A 2024 All-Pac-12 selection, Vonleh started in all 34 games, posting a team-leading 476 points on the season, averaging 14.0 points per game behind a .549 field goal percentage.
In her first season in Colorado, Vonleh saw time in all 34 games and started in all but one. The sophomore had three 20-plus-point games and was in double figures 25 times. She scored a then-career-high 25 points against Cal that season, going 11-for-14 from the field and 3-of-4 from the line.
Vonleh won the 2023 Co-Pac-12 Most Improved Player award and was an honorable mention pick on the All-Pac-12 team.
As a freshman with the Arizona Wildcats in 2021-22, Vonleh shot 61.5 percent from the field for 4.1 points per game in 17 games.
The pick marks Nicki Collen’s fourth selection to the league at Baylor, the program’s 25th overall and the 15th in the last 10 drafts.
