Her 44-point effort is the second-most scored by any Division I player this season and is the most by any player at a Power 5 school. McDonald also became the first Pac-12 player to score 40 in a game since Washington's Amber Melgoza scored 40 in February during the 2017-18 season.McDonald now has three of the top five scoring performances in school history and is 20th on the Arizona all-time scoring list. She is currently the Pac-12's leading scorer and is the nation's sixth-leading scorer at 25.3 points per game, which is also the most of any player in a Power 5 conference.Fans can keep up with the latest in Arizona women's basketball by following us on Facebook (Facebook.com/ArizonaWomensBasketball), Twitter (@ArizonaWBB) and Instagram (@arizonawbasketball).
