NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Maddy Siegrist won the Athletes Unlimited championship Sunday night, outscoring Odyssey Sims in the four-week event in Music City.
Siegrist finished fourth in her debut with Athletes Unlimited last year in Dallas. The forward coming off her second WNBA season with the Dallas Wings finished off this season with a league-record 7,052 points at Municipal Auditorium. She called it a great experience.
“I couldn’t be more happy to play with all these players,” Siegrist said. “This has been an amazing experience and getting to compete against so many great players and learn from them has been great.”
Sims, who split the 2024 WNBA season between Dallas and the Los Angeles Sparks, finished second for a second straight season. Sims finished with 6,595 points in the league featuring 41 players who rotated through four teams while playing 24 games of 5-on-5 hoops in Nashville.
Guard Crystal Bradford was third with 5,304 points and forward Maya Caldwell was fourth with 4,860 points.
Shey Peddy was named the league’s defensive player of the year, joining Sims, Bradford, center Elizabeth Williams and three-time WNBA champ Alysha Clark on the All-Defensive Team. Tyasha Harris was voted by her fellow players as the newcomer of the year.
