At Cornell
Career: DiMagno made a seamless transition from the guard to the forward position before her junior season. Since that time, she established herself as one of the greatest players in the history of Ivy League women's basketball. She was just the 10th player in conference history, and the first-ever in Cornell history, to reach 1,300 career points and 900 career rebounds. She was a three-time All-Ivy honoree, and a three-time CoSIDA Academic All-District selection (she has a 3.7 in biological sciences).
DiMagno concluded her time on East Hill as the all-time career rebounding leader in Big Red history, and she also set the career records for offensive rebounds (347), defensive rebounds (591), games played (112) and minutes played (3663). She ranked second in Cornell history for career free throw percentage (.837) and was third all-time in career points (1329), behind only Karen Walker and Keri Farley. Additionally, she ranked in the top-10 in free throws made (fourth – 328), steals (fifth – 173), field goals made (sixth – 457), 3-point field goal percentage (seventh –.354) and field goal percentage (ninth – .440).
In terms of single-season performances, she also set the school record for rebounds (321), offensive rebounds (125) and defensive rebounds (196) in 2012-13. She finished that year ranked 13th in the nation in rebounds per game, as one of only two players nationally ranked in the top-15 to stand under six-feet tall. She also set the school record for Ivy League Player of the Week selections in a season (four) in 2012-13.
Over the course of her final two seasons, she recorded a double-double in nearly half of the games she played in (26-of-56) and of those 26 double-doubles, 17 came during 28 Ivy League games. She was also named Ivy Player of the Week six times, good for 12th overall in conference history.
Junior (2012-13): DiMagno was named second-team All-Ivy after leading the Big Red in both points and rebounds, averaging a double-double for the season with 14.7 points and 11.5 rebounds per game. DiMagno made the switch from guard to forward prior to the 2012-13 season in a move that paid huge dividends for her and the Big Red. She became the first player under Head Coach Dayna Smith, and fourth all-time in Cornell history, to reach 800 career points and 600 career rebounds.She also became the first-ever Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District first-team selection in the history of the women’s basketball program. DiMagno finished the season with 16 double-doubles, the most by any member of the Ancient Eight since the 2009-10 season. She finished the season ranked 12th in the nation and led the league in rebounds per game (11.5), while also leading the conference in defensive rebounds (7.0) and offensive rebounds (4.5). She set the Cornell record for rebounds in a season and moved into the Ivy League record book, ranking 11th all-time in Ivy League history for rebounds in a season with 321. DiMagno also ranked third overall in the Ivy League with 14.7 points per game, but was even better against conference foes, ranking second overall with 15.5 point per game in Ivy League contests. An all-around solid player, DiMagno also had the second best field goal percentage in the conference (.471), while ranking second overall in free throw percentage (.854), second in minutes played (36.0) and fifth in steals per game (1.8). She also ranked fourth on the team in 3-pointers made and was extremely consistent beyond the arc, connecting on .422 of her attempts (19-of-45). DiMagno set the school record for Ivy League Player of the Week selections in a season with four and also set the Cornell mark for minutes played in a single game when she stayed on the court the full 50 minutes of the Big Red's double-overtime victory over Columbia. In that contest, DiMagno pulled down a career- and team-season high 22 rebounds. The 22-rebound effort was the seventh-best single-game performance in the NCAA during the 2012-13 season and ranks fourth all-time in Cornell history, matching Patti Froehlich (vs. St. Francis (Pa.) on Jan. 9, 1989) and Rhonda Anderson's (vs. Oneonta State on Dec. 2, 1980) 22-rebound efforts.
