Epiphany Prince, a former Scarlet Knight at Rutgers, has hung up her sword.
After playing in the WNBA for 14 seasons, Prince, previously of the New York Liberty, announced her retirement on Tuesday. After making her national debut in Piscataway, she spent five of those, including a 10-game tour from the previous year, in Seafoam before returning to the tri-state area.
Prince posted a “thank you” note on Instagram to announce her departure. Former Liberty colleagues Swin Cash, Kia Nurse, Nyara Sabally, and Amanda Zahui B are among the well-wishers in the comments.
“First and foremost, I’m thankful to God for all He has blessed me with and continues to bless me with,” Prince stated. “I have been fortunate to have a long career filled with unforgettable memories, a lot of winning, ups and downs, traveling the world, and meeting so many amazing people.”

She spent her previous four seasons as a player with New York (2015–18), averaging 11.7 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. Notably, Prince averaged 15 points on 46.7 percent from the floor in her New York debut, a career-best, and finished seventh in the WNBA MVP vote. She was also named to the second team in the WNBA.
As of right now, Prince is the only member of Liberty’s Madison Square Garden roster still playing for the Brooklyn squad. Prince was regularly spotted enjoying the highlights of the previous season and taking part in the locker room celebration after the Liberty won the Commissioner’s Cup in Las Vegas last summer, even though she left after Johannes arrived.
Maybe only a Brooklyn native who was a star at Manhattan’s Murray Bergtraum High School would wear something like that. In 2006, she broke Cheryl Miller’s previous national prep school record when she scored 113 points in a single game. After that, she worked for Rutgers University under head coach C. Vivian Stringer, but she notably skipped her last season to play professionally in Russia.
Prince also engaged in international relations with Russia after being selected by the Chicago Sky as the fourth overall choice in the 2010 WNBA Draft. Prince has enjoyed WNBA tours with Las Vegas and Seattle, winning a title with the latter in 2020, in addition to New York and Chicago.
