Rachel Jarry (born December 6, 1991 in Melbourne, Victoria) is an Australian professional basketball player for the Bulleen Boomers in the WNBL and Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA. She began her pro career as a forward for the Boomers. She also played for the Australian Institute of Sport, an Australian-type college for sporting excellence in youth, for the 2008-09 WNBL season.
In her debut WNBL season for the AIS, Jarry averaged 11.1 points per game, 5.5 rebounds per game and shot 45.6 percent from the floor in 20 games. After graduating from the Institute, she joined the reigning runners-up Bulleen Boomers as one of two graduates, the other being Elizabeth Cambage. In her first season with the Boomers, Jarry averaged 10.5 points and 5.9 rebounds off the bench in all 24 games, including the two playoff games. In her second season with Bulleen, Jarry was promoted to the starting-five in place of injured teammate, Hanna Zavecz. Mid-way through the season, she suffered a serious knee injury in a game versus the AIS and missed four games. Luckily, the injury was not a bad as first thought. Throughout the season, Jarry averaged 13.4 points and 5.8 rebounds in 20 games, including two playoff games. Jarry was an integral part of the Boomers first championship in franchise history.[1]
