COLUMBUS – Buckeye sophomore Kelsey Mitchell was been named Player of the Week by a number of outlets after an outstanding weekend at the South Point Shootout.
Mitchell was named the National Player of the Week by ESPNW and College Sports Madness as well as the Big Ten Player of the Week after scoring a total of 62 points and grabbing nine rebounds in the Buckeyes’ wins over Liberty and No. 10/9 Texas A&M.
That included scoring a school-record tying 42 points against the Agies.
Mitchell also reached another milestone in the win over Texas A&M as she became the fastest player in Big Ten history to surpass 1,000 career points. It took her just 41 games, besting Penn State’s Kelly Mazzante’s 47 games. The OSU record was held by Katie Smith who reached 1,000 points in her 52nd game.
