UConn guard Azzi Fudd took top individual honors at the WNBA draft, while UCLA dominated the group category.

Fudd became the seventh UConn player to be selected No. 1 overall in the draft when the Dallas Wings took her at the outset of Monday night's festivities ⁠in New York.

"There's no words to describe that feeling," Fudd said of hearing her name as the top pick. "It's surreal. I had goosebumps the whole time. I'm so grateful. It was a super special moment."
