Gruda climbs past Taurasi to become second-highest modern era scorer

SCHIO (Italy) - Sandrine Gruda continues to amass more impressive milestones after the Beretta Famila Schio center moved into second spot in the modern era EuroLeague Women scoring chart., on Wednesday night.

Crowned EuroLeague Women MVP for November earlier this week, Gruda has added to her resume further after surpassing fellow legend Diana Taurasi to move to 3202 points in the competition.

It was made possible courtesy of her 10-point haul as Beretta Famila Schio beat Galatasaray 76-73 at home. The French international also recently moved into third place in the modern era rebounding chart.

"I’m happy because I didn’t expect [this accomplishment] Gruda commented afterwards. "I don't play for individual rewards, but it is always a great feeling to accomplish all these things on the way and it’s also a way to validate my work ethic, my dedication to game."
