Former Louisville women's basketball star Dana Evans made jaws drop around the country as the third quarter of the Chicago Sky's game against the Washington Mystics came to a close Sunday night at Wintrust Arena.

Playing in her second WNBA season, Evans caught an inbounds pass from a teammate with 3.3 seconds remaining in the third period and the Sky leading the Mystics 64-56. The former All-American took four dribbles, then heaved a high-arching shot into the air from well past half-court.

The third-quarter buzzer sounded. The lights surrounding the backboard flashed red.

Coming out of orbit, the ball bounced against the shooter's square and swished through the net, sending the broadcast crew and the fans in attendance into a frenzy. Evans' teammates mobbed her with hugs as they ran back toward their bench.
