2019 WNBA Draft round-by-round results: Notre Dame's Jackie Young taken at No. 1

April 10 (UPI) -- The Las Vegas Aces selected Notre Dame guard Jackie Young with the No. 1 overall pick in Wednesday night's WNBA Draft.

Young, who was eligible to declare early because she turns 22 in the same year as the draft, became the second Fighting Irish player to be drafted first overall after leaving college early. She joined Jewell Loyd, who was drafted with the top pick in the 2015 draft.

The Aces held the No. 1 selection for the third consecutive year. The franchise drafted Kelsey Plum in 2017 when the team was located in San Antonio. The Aces picked A'ja Wilson last season when the team moved to Las Vegas.

Young, who was the only junior available in this year's draft, averaged 14.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists for Notre Dame this season.

Young's teammates, Arike Ogunbowale and Brianna Turner, also went in the first round. The Dallas Wings drafted Ogunbowale and the Atlanta Dream selected Turner. The Dream later traded the draft rights to Turner to the Phoenix Mercury for Marie Gulich.

Notre Dame's Jessica Shepard was the 16th overall pick and Marina Mabrey was drafted at No. 19, meaning all five starters from the Irish were selected. Tennessee previously was the only school to accomplish that feat with college players, in 2008.

The New York Liberty drafted Louisville's Asia Durr with the No. 2 overall pick. The Indiana Fever picked Mississippi State's Teaira McCowan and the Chicago Sky grabbed UConn star Katie Lou Samuelson at No. 4.
