LOUISVILLE, Ky. - With the 2024 WNBA All-Star Game just a couple days away, we have officially reached the halfway point of the 2024 WNBA season. While there weren't any former Louisville women's basketball players voted as All-Stars, a few former Cards have made an impact across the association. 

As of Jul. 18, there have been four former Cardinals play in a WNBA regular season game this year: Liz Dixon, Emily Engstler, Dana Evans and Myisha Hines-Allen.

How have they performed in the WNBA just past the halfway point of the season? Take a look below:
