Mabrey’s sister, Michaela, was in attendance and ran onto the floor after the final horn blew to hug her sister in a heartfelt moment. Mabrey stated in a post-game interview that her sister doesn’t get to see her play often, making this one more special.
Mabrey’s final line read 17-of-28 and 9-of-18 from three-point territory for her 53-point total. She also tallied six rebounds and two assists in the victory.
