In this story:

USC women's basketball's Rayah Marshall is climbing up the school's leaderboard. The junior is now third all-time in career blocks among Trojans with 215 career blocks. Marshall is averaging 2.0 blocks per game this season, along with 9.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game. 

She has 46 total blocks on the season. Her best season for blocks came a year ago when she was second in the NCAA in blocks per game with a 3.5 average and recorded 98 blocks on the season.

Marshall passed Paula McGee to hit third. McGee played for USC from 1980-1984, where she was a two-time NCAA champion and had her No. 11 retired by USC.

Passing McGee puts Marshall into legendary territory. Now, only Cheryl Miller and Lisa Leslie have more career blocks for the Trojans than Marshall. Miller and Leslie are two of the greatest basketball players in USC history. Miller was a three-time Naismith Player of the Year, while Leslie went on to become one of the greatest players in WNBA history, winning two championships. 

Marshall has a long way to go though if she wants to pass Miller or Leslie on the all-time blocks list. Leslie is the school's all-time leader with 321 blocks, while Miller is right behind with 320. Marshall would need 107 more blocks to become the all-time leader.
