Sonia Citron Surges: Notre Dame’s 6-Foot Guard Drops Season-Best Performance—Watch the Game-Winning Highlights
• Hot Trendy News
Electrifying rookie guard Sonia Citron is turning heads across the WNBA and lighting up search engines at the same time. Through her first five professional games the Washington Mystics’ No. 3 overall pick is pouring in 15.4 points per night while flirting with the coveted 50-40-90 shooting club—53.2 % from the field, 47.6 % from three and 89.5 % at the line. Those numbers not only lead all rookies in scoring efficiency but also slot Citron among the league’s overall leaders in true-shooting percentage.
Why Citron’s breakout matters
• Offensive spark: Washington ranks in the bottom third of the WNBA in pace, yet Citron’s quick-trigger jumper has injected instant offense, accounting for 19 % of the Mystics’ made field goals and a staggering 27 % of their made threes so far.
• Rookie leaderboard: The former Notre Dame star tops the 2025 class in points per game and ranks top-three in PER, trailing only frontcourt teammate Kiki Iriafen in total win shares.
• Betting buzz: Sportsbooks have slashed her Rookie of the Year price to +750, the second-shortest odds in the league, behind only Dallas sensation Paige Bueckers.
Key matchup on deck
Washington hosts Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever tonight (7:30 p.m. ET, NBA TV). Indiana’s league-leading pace (87.2 possessions) could give Citron extra shot volume and a national stage to bolster her ROY résumé. Expect Mystics coach Eric Thibault to deploy Citron alongside veteran Ariel Atkins to combat the Fever’s three-guard sets, a matchup that should create corner-three opportunities where Citron is drilling 52 % of her attempts.
What coaches and analysts are saying
Mystics assistant Caprice Smith called Citron “a plug-and-play scorer who defends above her size,” while Pro Football Network’s rookie ladder elevated her to the No. 1 spot after just two weeks. Opposing scouts laud her off-ball instincts—she ranks in the 85th percentile for catch-and-shoot efficiency—and her 2.0 turnovers per game indicate mature decision-making.
Outlook
If Citron maintains her torrid shooting and continues to log 30-plus minutes, she could challenge Washington’s single-season rookie scoring record set by Chamique Holdsclaw in 1999. More importantly, the Mystics have found a long-term backcourt cornerstone to pair with Iriafen, accelerating a rebuild that many analysts thought would take multiple seasons.
Bottom line for searchers: Sonia Citron’s historic shooting splits, surging Rookie of the Year odds and must-watch matchup against the Fever make her the breakout story of the 2025 WNBA season—and the hottest name to track as summer hoops heats up.
