It’s been a busy offseason for former Villanova star Maddy Siegrist. Here’s how she’s preparing for Year 3 in the WNBA.

For Maddy Siegrist, the offseason was a chance to check some big items off her bucket list: Get engaged, remodel a house, take on a new role with her alma mater, and play several games in a five-week period against some of the best women’s basketball players in the country.

While the engagement is the most memorable part of her offseason, the Dallas Wings forward and Villanova legend has been keeping busy on the court as well.

After her rookie season, Siegrist decided not to go overseas and instead joined Athletes Unlimited. She’s returning again this offseason.

Athletes Unlimited is a network of professional women’s sports leagues in volleyball and basketball, which will feature 40 players this year. (AU will begin a softball league this year, as well.) Each week, teams are redrafted, and the league also uses a rotating captain system as well as a running leaderboard.

In her debut season with AU, Siegrist averaged 19.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 33.5 minutes, which put her 12th on the leaderboard with 4,061 points.

Athletes earn points on the leaderboard in three ways: when their team wins a game or quarter, when an athlete makes a positive play on the court (she can lose points for a negative play), or when an athlete is voted one of the top three MVPs of a game by players and fans.

“I didn’t pay too much attention to the leaderboard,” Siegrist said. “I think every time you play, you want to be efficient. You want to be effective. So whatever that looks like. … Whether you’re taking one shot or 20 shots, you want to be efficient. And getting rewarded for wins and winning quarters. … I think it’s really important [to] just reiterate the importance of winning and losing quarters.”

This year’s league runs from Feb. 5 to March 2, and all 24 games will be played at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium. Fourteen games will be streamed on the WNBA app and broadcast on regional sports networks, while 10 will be on ESPN+.

“Just being able to compete at the highest level is great,” said Siegrist, 24. “I’m just trying to be as versatile [with the ball] as I can and continue to expand my game.”

If AU wasn’t keeping Siegrist busy enough, Siegrist and her fiancé also are remodeling the house in Drexel Hill they recently bought together. Siegrist’s fiancé, Stephen Perretta, is the son of her former Villanova coach, Harry, and an assistant coach for the Drexel women’s basketball team.

“Luckily my dad does mostly commercial construction, but he made an exception to go back to residential and they’ve been very helpful with that and all the projects,” Siegrist said.

Siegrist also took on a new role with the Villanova women’s basketball team. Last year, she was the special assistant to the senior women’s administrator, but now she is coaching the Wildcats more.

“Last year, it was basically the same team I played with,” Siegrist said. “They’re your friends, so it’s a little tricky. But [coach Denise Dillon] made it clear that I’ll always have a spot [at Villanova]. And this year, she was like, ‘I think I want you more on the coaching side and more hands-on.’ And it’s been great to learn from all the coaches here, and just see the day-to-day, practice planning, and how you pick a drill, that kind of thing.”

Siegrist is taking advantage of the comforts of her former home. She works out at Villanova in the mornings and gets shots up in the afternoon.

During her rookie season in the WNBA, Siegrist appeared in 39 games and averaged 3.7 points in 8.2 minutes.

She slowly but surely made a bigger impact during her second WNBA season. She appeared in 27 games averaging 9.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 23.9 minutes. However, she was sidelined for about eight weeks during the season after fracturing the index finger on her left (non-shooting) hand and having surgery.

“I shattered it pretty good,” Siegrist said. “But the Olympic break was perfect timing for me, and then to be able to come back and fight back through that … and being able to start the last couple games and play and contribute, I think that’s always a high note.”

Now with goals set for the upcoming WNBA season, Siegrist will carry that high note with her into her third year.

“The more experience you have, the better,” Siegrist said. “We’ve got a great staff down in Dallas, so I’m super excited. I can’t wait to get down there, and I’ll start working. I try not to [think ahead], though. You want to enjoy every day, every month, and just every moment.”
