SYRACUSE — Canadian basketball player Kayla Alexander had her No. 40 jersey retired by Syracuse University on Sunday.
The two-time Olympian from Milton, Ont., became just the second women’s basketball player in Syracuse history to receive the honour when her jersey went up during halftime of the Syracuse’s game against Notre Dame.
“It’s still so surreal to me because in my head, I’ve always believed that people who get their jerseys in the rafters, like those are legendary people and to me, I’m just Kayla,” she said.
“You don’t get up there by yourself. I had an incredible village of amazing people who helped me over the years from coaches in elementary and middle school, to my amazing coaches that I had at Syracuse University.”
