Napheesa Collier Takes Home 200k And Unrivaled 1-on-1 Crown, Beating Aaliyah Edwards In Final

Napheesa Collier of the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx took home 200,000 on Friday after she beat Washington Mystics forward Aaliyah Edwards in the final of Unrivaled's 1-on-1 tournament.

The winner's check was the largest one-day prize in women's basketball history, Unrivaled commissioner Micky Lawler said.

Collier, a co-founder of the Unrivaled 3-on-3 league and a No. 1 seed in the 30-player tournament, won the best-of-three series 2-1 over the eighth-seeded Edwards to become Unrivaled's first 1-on-1 champion.

Each game between the former UConn standouts was played to a winning score of 8, with Edwards coming from behind to take the opener and Collier winning the final two.

Collier's five Unrivaled teammates each received 10,000 from the tournament's 350,000 prize pool. Edwards got 50,000 for reaching the final.
