Angel Reese made Unrivaled history on Saturday.

During Rose Basketball Club’s matchup against Vinyl Basketball Club, Reese became the first player in Unrivaled history to be ejected from a game.

In the second quarter, she was called for a foul while trying to take the ball from Tiffany Hayes. After making a gesture towards the referee, she earned a technical foul before arguing further, earning a second technical foul and an ejection.

Afterward, Reese reacted to her ejection on social media:

Reese had a productive start to the game before being ejected, collecting 10 points, 12 rebounds and four assists in 13 minutes. Rose lost the matchup 79-73 as Vinyl’s Rhyne Howard dropped 33 points.

Rose can’t afford any more ejections from Reese as they try to get back on track after starting the season 2-4. Lunar Owls is currently in control after a 5-0 start while Rose is sitting in fifth place, better than only Mist.
