The scoring line: The program's career scoring list, from the record book: Arike Ogunbowale, 2,626 points (2015–19). Hannah Hidalgo, 2,460, still active. Skylar Diggins, 2,357. Beth Morgan (later Cunningham), 2,322. Katryna Gaither, 2,126. Ruth Riley, 2,072. Brianna Turner, 2,017 — with the career records for blocked shots (372) and rebounds (1,048) besides.

The draft line: The program's first-round and headline draft record: Riley, fifth overall, 2001 (Miami Sol). Diggins, third, 2013 (Tulsa). McBride, third, 2014 (San Antonio). Loyd, first overall, 2015 (Seattle) — and the program's first early entrant. In 2019, all five starters in the first twenty picks: Young first (Las Vegas), Ogunbowale fifth (Dallas), Turner eleventh, Jessica Shepard sixteenth, Mabrey nineteenth. Citron, third, 2025 (Washington), with Westbeld sixteenth the same year. McGraw's twenty players sent to the league stand in the McGraw entry; Ogunbowale added the 2020 WNBA scoring title and two All-Star Game most-valuable-player awards (2021, 2024); McBride became a five-time All-Star; Mabrey carries the Toronto Tempo's inaugural roster of 2026, in the record book's accounting.
The Olympic and international line: Four Irish players have won Olympic gold: Riley (2004), Diggins (2021), and Loyd and Young (2021 and 2024 each) — Riley and Young being the two who hold an NCAA title, a WNBA title and a gold medal together. Natalie Achonwa played in four Olympic tournaments for Canada (2012, 2016, 2021, 2024), the only Canadian basketball player, in the record book's account, to reach four. The book counts thirty-four Irish players who have represented the United States, Canada, the Philippines or Nigeria internationally, winning sixty-six medals, forty-six of them gold; five Irish-associated players appeared at the Paris Olympics of 2024 (Loyd, Young, Achonwa, Cassandre Prosper and Lauren Ebo); and Ivey herself, as a head coach, took the United States under-18 team to AmeriCup gold in 2024.
