Maddy Siegrist is back at Villanova University with a new way to help the women’s athletic program, writes Matt Ryan for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The all-time leading scorer for both men and women at Villanova, Siegrist is now the special assistant to the senior administrator of the Wildcats women’s program.

The announcement was made Oct. 25 by Villanova athletic director Mark Jackson. 

Siegrist finished her career with 2,896 points. Last season, she led the country in scoring at 29.2 points per game.

That let her take the Wildcats to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament.

In April, Siegrist was taken No. 3 overall by the Dallas Wings in the 2023 WNBA Draft. She averaged 3.7 points and 1.6 rebounds as a rookie.

”It is a very exciting day for our entire program to have Maddy joining Villanova Athletics in this new role,” women’s basketball head coach Denise Dillon said in a statement. “Maddy is as special off the court as she is on it, and I can’t wait to see the contributions she will continue to make to our university.”
