Epiphanny Prince (born January 11, 1988) is a Russian and American professional women's basketball player for the New York Liberty of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) and Dynamo Kursk of Russia as well as the Russia women's national basketball team.[1][2] She is best known for scoring 113 points for Murry Bergtraum in a high school game in 2006, breaking a girls' national prep record previously held by Hall of Famer Cheryl Miller.[3] Participated in the 2006 Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) and McDonald’s High School All-America Games.[4] In June, 2009, Prince announced plans to leave Rutgers after only three years to play professional basketball in Europe for a year. According to the New York Times, Prince was just 10 units from earning a degree in criminal justice and African-American studies and planned to complete her degree during the summer of 2009. Her announcement is not binding until she signs with an agent; in August, Prince signed with Wasserman Media Group.[5] In 2010 she was granted Russian citizenship. She wasn't on the roster during the 2011 European Championships, nor did she compete for Russia during the 2012 Olympics in London.[6] Prince played as a point guard for the Russian national team in the European Championships of 2013, where the team finished in 13th place.[7] On February 16, 2015, the Chicago Sky traded Prince to the New York Liberty for Cappie Pondexter.[8]
