Canadian basketball player Kayla Alexander has No.40 retired by 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.

Alexander starred for the Orange from 2009-2013 and is the program’s all-time leader in points (2,024), blocks (350), and field goals (736). 

Syracuse advanced to NCAA women's championship tournament in her senior season.

Alexander was selected eighth overall by San Antonio in the 2013 WNBA draft and currently plays professionally in Spain with Valencia.

She represented Canada at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and the Paris Games this summer.
