She ended her career leading the program all-time in steals (370), assists (660) and triple-doubles (4).
McConnell, whose brother T.J. plays for the Indiana Pacers, made her WNBA debut on June 3, 2025, but saw her season come to an end with an injury after 13 minutes of play. This offseason, McConnell played for Australian side Bendigo Spirit, averaging 11.2 points, 3.9 assists and 6.2 rebounds per game.
