Former University of Maine basketball star Cindy Blodgett of Clinton completed her fourth WNBA season earlier this week when the Sacramento Monarchs were beaten by Los Angeles in the Western Conference finals.

Blodgett, who played sparingly for the Monarchs, plans to again refine her skills in France during the offseason, according to a report in the Sacramento Bee.

The 25-year-old Blodgett was the No. 2 scorer in France last summer while playing for the club Entente Sportive Basket Villeneuve d’Ascq. She averaged 20.8 points and almost 36 minutes per game, earning all-star MVP honors, before leaving the team early in March to return to the United States.

Blodgett appeared in 11 of Sacramento’s 32 games this season, averaging 3.1 points and 6.5 minutes per contest. She shot 45 percent from the field and was 13-for-29 (.533), the best on the team, from beyond the 3-point arc.

On July 3, the 5-foot-9 guard poured in a career-high 19 points in Sacramento’s 91-52 win over Minnesota. She hit five 3-pointers in the game.

Blodgett graduated from UMaine in 1998 as the all-time leading scorer in school and conference history and ranked third all-time among NCAA Division I scorers with 3,005 points.

She was the sixth pick overall in the 1998 WNBA draft by the Cleveland Rockers and spent one season there before being traded to the Monarchs for Quacy Barnes.
