This year’s NCAA Women’s tournament has produced a lot of star players who have shown their potential to become great WNBA players in the future. Whether it be Caitlin Clark, Angel Resse, or Hailey Van Lith, they have all become near celebrities with their performance on the court.
Meet Nika Muhl the UConn Huskies rising star
Nika Muhl, the Croatian basketball player, plays as a point guard for the UConn Huskies. She is currently in her Senior year at the University of Connecticut and her journey began at the college on 8 April 2019. In her freshman year, she was putting up impressive stats by averaging 5.0 points, 2.7 assists, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.8 steals in 22 games.
Her game style evolved in her sophomore year and she was named the Big East Defensive Player of the Year for the 2021-22 season. She earned this honor after averaging 2.2 steals per game that season. Her Junior year allowed her to shine at UConn, the Huskies were without their star player Paige Bueckers for most of the season, and in her absence, Nika became the team’s most important player.
In November of 2022, she set the program record for the most assists in a single game by dishing out 15 assists against NC State. She is also placed 2nd in the assists chart for female college basketball players in the nation. She only trails Caitlin Clark on that list by 2 assists, however, she is also quite the scorer and is an offensive threat if left unguarded.
Muhl earns the nickname “Secretary of Defense”
The fans have already started to take notice of Nika Muhl and her great balling abilities. She earned the nickname “Secretary of Defense” after someone changed her position on the Wikipedia page. Muhl will be going pro as it was reported that she had no plans of using her extra year of COVID Eligibility. The Huskies star had already announced her departure from the program before March Madness. The fans can expect her to declare for the WNBA draft soon in the future.
