Tegan Graham sets NZ all-time record

Congratulations to Tegan Graham who made a record breaking 137th NCAA Division I appearance today as Brigham Young University outclassed St Mary’s College 78-36.

Enjoying a fine season, the fifth year senior demonstrated her all court game as she finished with 11 points (3/6 3PG) a game high 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and a block.

With a bunch of West Coast Conference games remaining and post-season play almost a certainty Graham, barring injury, could push that game tally well beyond 150 before the season and her collegiate career come to an end.

The record for the most Division I games played by a New Zealander (male or female) was previously held by Jillian Harmon (Stanford University 2005-09).

137 Tegan Graham (98 games at Colgate University 2017-20, 39 and counting at BYU, 2020-present)
