WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue women’s basketball guard Tara Daye has been named to the finalist list for the 2026 Lilly Women’s College All-Star Game. The annual clash of the game’s top seniors will be played Saturday, April 4, at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix.
Daye featured on a list of 107 players from 75 schools in 19 conferences.
Participants can only play in the All-Star Game if they have exhausted their eligibility or are planning to forgo their final years of eligibility. Inclusion on the list does not imply players will forego any remaining eligibility.
Daye paced Purdue with 12.4 points and 6.5 rebounds this season and was one of three guards from the Big Ten to average better than 12 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. Daye is the first guard since Stephanie White in 1997-98 to lead Purdue in scoring and rebounding in the same season.
The Newark, N.J., native finished second on the team with 73 assists, after playing the point for the first time in her career. In her first season as a Boilermaker, Daye tallied more points, field goals, 3-pointers, free throws and rebounds than she accumulated in her first three years of college basketball combined.
