The 6’3” forward, selected No. 4 overall in the 2025 WNBA Draft, continued her stellar rookie campaign with another dominant performance Sunday night. Iriafen posted 10 points, 10 rebounds, an assist and a steal to help lead the Mystics to a 74–69 win over the Seattle Storm.
That stat line also marked her seventh double-double of the season, breaking a franchise rookie record previously held by Chamique Holdsclaw, who set the mark with six.

Iriafen’s consistency on both ends of the floor has quickly made her one of the most exciting young players in the league and she’s showing no signs of slowing down. With much of the season still ahead, she’s on pace to put that rookie double-double record far out of reach.
