The game between Notre Dame and NC State is quite evenly matched. Both teams are trading buckets back and forth, as the score is tied 55-55 late in the third quarter. However, fans witnessed an incredible play just a few minutes prior!
Olivia Miles is one of the biggest WNBA prospects of this draft class. ESPN has her going at number 2, and she definitely is trying her best to make a case for number one. The star has recovered from a plethora of injuries, and it’s amazing that she is doing so well. However, NC State won’t let her get easy buckets!
In the last minute of the second quarter, Miles went in for a layup against NC State. She tried to go for an extended finish with a straight arm, however Wolfpack star Saniya Rivers was having none of that! She swatted Miles’ shot away, recording a powerful block on the NPOY candidate.
A Wolfpack fan account on X reacted majorly to the block. “SANIYA RIVERS JUST BLOCKED OLIVIA MILES INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION!!!” While an NC State fan made a humorous comment about the rejection. “Olivia Miles was aiming for two points, but Saniya Rivers served up crowd participation instead!”
SANIYA RIVERS JUST BLOCKED OLIVIA MILES INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION!!!
