The Washington Mystics made a significant move in the 2025 WNBA Draft by selecting Notre Dame guard Sonia Citron as the No. 3 overall pick. Citron, known for her scoring ability and defensive intensity, brings a polished skill set to the Mystics and is poised to become a key player in the team's new era. Her selection was supported by her boyfriend, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Marist Liufau, who stood by her during the draft night.
Citron's performance at Notre Dame, where she earned accolades such as First-Team All-ACC honors and ACC All-Defensive Team selection, has drawn comparisons to some of the top players in the league. As she embarks on her WNBA career, Liufau, who was drafted by the Cowboys in 2024, is also gearing up for an expanded role in the 2025 NFL season. With Liufau's support and Citron's potential impact on the Mystics, both athletes are poised for success in their respective leagues.
