Rachel Margolis Siegal October 16, 2012

NCAA women’s basketball players Elena Delle Donne, Skylar Diggins and Brittney Griner will pay a visit to ESPN’s Bristol, Conn., studios on Wednesday for a preseason Car Wash through several ESPN platforms.

The trio of talented women’s college players are some of the best in the country – Griner is coming off an NCAA National Championship with Baylor and is the 2012 Wade Trophy recipient, Diggins is Notre Dame’s star and has the most Twitter followers of any collegiate athlete (265K) and Delle Donne was the nation’s leading scorer last season as a junior (28.1 ppg).

Throughout the day, visit espnW for behind-the-scenes video and photos of the players’ visit.

As part of the College Sports PR team at ESPN, it has been an exciting adventure for me since I joined the worldwide leader in July 2010, working on college football, college basketball, college lacrosse and WNBA properties. I began my love of sports as the manager of several high school sports teams and continued that hobby into college. While at Quinnipiac, I worked in the Sports Information Department, which led me to a summer internship at the New Haven Ravens, a AA baseball team, and an eventual job with the Athletic Communications Department at the University of Connecticut. After my five-year stint at Connecticut, I spent six years as Director of Communications at the BIG EAST Conference in Providence, R.I. before joining ESPN.
