Maggie Doogan, the University of Richmond’s all‑time leading scorer, has officially signed a professional contract with Baxi Ferrol, the Spanish club that competes in the Liga Femenina Endesa, the country’s premier women’s basketball league. The agreement will see the Virginia native begin her first season abroad in the 2026‑27 campaign.
A decorated college career
During her four years with the Spiders, Doogan amassed 2,138 points, ranking her among the most prolific scorers in program history. She capped her senior season by averaging 21.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game, while also leading the Atlantic 10 in scoring with 716 points — the highest single‑season total ever recorded at Richmond.
Honors and national recognition
The senior was named Atlantic 10 Player of the Year for two consecutive seasons and earned honorable‑mention All‑America nods from the USBWA, WBCA and USA TODAY Sports. She also appeared on the Naismith Late‑Season Team, the Becky Hammon Player of the Year Award mid‑season watch list and the Katrina McClain Award top‑10, highlighting her status among the nation’s elite.
Championship contributions
Doogan helped the Spiders capture the 2024 Atlantic 10 Championship and secure the regular‑season title, moments that included a program‑record 48‑point performance in a triple‑overtime victory over Davidson on Jan. 10. Her leadership extended beyond the court, as she was selected to the ECAC and CSC all‑tournament teams.
A transatlantic next step
Baxi Ferrol, a club with a growing reputation in Spanish basketball, will provide Doogan with a new competitive environment and the chance to showcase her skills on European soil. The move is being welcomed by fans and analysts alike, who see the signing as a boost for the league’s profile and a testament to the growing pipeline of talent from U.S. colleges to Spain’s top division.
